Histoire du domaine
Vincent Dancer settled in 1996 at the age of 22 in the family property in Chassagne-Montrachet after studying viticulture and oenology in Beaune. He started with about 3.5 hectares of family vines; his uncle Philippe Ballot, a winemaker in Meursault, helped him with the first vintage, as the estate did not yet have its own winery. The winery was built in 1997 and then gradually expanded. From the very beginning, Vincent Dancer implemented organic farming in the vineyard, which was officially certified in 2012. His son Théo joined the estate in 2016 and took full responsibility for winemaking in 2021. Starting with the 2024 vintage, the name used evolves from Domaine Vincent Dancer to Domaine Dancer, while both Vincent and Théo Dancer remain co-managers of the legal entity. The family vineyard now covers approximately 8 hectares across several communes in the Côte de Beaune.
Perrières
Perrières is a climat officially classified as Premier Cru of the Meursault appellation, distinct from the enclosed Clos des Perrières climat. Its regulatory boundary includes parts of the lieu-dits Les Perrières Dessus, Aux Perrières, and Les Perrières Dessous. The hillside features thin, very stony soils, locally with a steep slope, resting notably on oolitic limestones and Jurassic marls. Characteristics vary between the upper and lower sectors of the climat.

Histoire de la parcelle
The presence of an old limestone quarry has durably structured the site and explains its name. Perrières is among the climats of Meursault recognized for the "premier cru" mention, a classification officialized in 1943; its current parcel composition is specified by the AOC specifications.
