Score 90/100 · Neal Martin
The 2011 Meursault Villages has a refined walnut and hazelnut bouquet with just a hint of butterscotch loitering in the background. The palate is very well-balanced with a lovely citrus peel note on the entry accompanied by Japanese yuzu and grilled walnuts on the elegant understated finish. Very fine, if not quite up to the level of the Auxey-Duresses whites. Drink now-2018. Aug 2013, www.robertparker.com

About the producer
Auvenay
Domaine d’Auvenay is part of the Leroy empire (along with Domaine Leroy and Maison Leroy). It is named after Lalou Bize-Leroy’s home, an old hunting lodge outside Saint-Romain in the hills above Auxey-Duresses, which she shared with her husband Marcel until he passed away in 2004.
