Moving beyond its traditional role as a Kir base, this wine embodies a philosophy of purity and mineral expression, mirroring the exacting standards of the Côte de Beaune's finest producers. Théo Dancer's meticulous, organic-focused approach results in a white wine of exceptional focus and vibrant energy.

Tasting Profile: Taut and Crystalline

• Appearance: Bright, pale straw color with a silver-green tint.
• Aroma: An elegant bouquet of crisp green fruit (apple, pear), lemon verbena, and a pronounced, refreshing mineral lift.
• Taste: The palate is defined by its tension-it is taut, lean, and beautifully structured. The high acidity is perfectly integrated, carrying flavors of citrus pith and wet stone through a long, clean, and distinctly saline finish. This is a wine of great finesse and length.
