Meursault Les Gouttes d`Or d`Auvenay 2005 is a prestigious, single-vineyard white Burgundy crafted from Chardonnay grapes. The vineyard is renowned for its limestone-rich soils, which contribute to the wine`s signature minerality. The warm 2005 vintage has yielded concentrated and structured with notes of citrus peel, subtle nuttiness and a touch of oxidative character. The palate is rich and powerful, displaying a dense texture. Domaine d’Auvenay is overseen by acclaimed winemaker Dominique Lafon, focusing on low yields and sustainable practices, resulting in exceptional wines from this esteemed terroir.

Vinous
Sexy aromas of citrus fruits, oatmeal and smoke. Sweetly spicy in the mouth, with a ripe peach flavor and a seductively supple texture. Very good acidity frames the fruit and extends the finish. (Two other Meursaults were considerably more difficult to taste: A village wine, simply labeled Meursault, was plagued by mercaptan, and despite offering sexy hazelnut and oatmeal flavors and harmonious acidity was impossible to judge. And a Meursault Les Narvaux showed a resiny aroma of Calvados. Madame Bize said the wine was simply too young, and I suppose it's possible that it was going through an oxidative stage.)Stephen Tanzer1st September 2007
