Robert Parker's Wine Advocate awarded this wine a stellar score of 93 points. Neal Martin, writing for the publication on August 1, 2013, praised the wine's "striking bouquet" that is "more immediate than the Pommard with lifted mineralite." He noted the wine’s "beautifully defined and focused" character. On the palate, Martin described the wine as medium-bodied with "filigree tannins" and "waves of black currant and raspberry fruit," which are "underlined by superb tension and poise." The finish is particularly noteworthy, being "very composed with a long aftertaste and spicy coda." Martin concluded his review succinctly with "Excellent," highlighting the wine's overall quality.

Another review from Burghound, dated April 15, 2013, gave the wine a commendable score of 90 points. This review emphasized the wine's "cooler" fruit profile, with "restrained aromas that resemble those of the Lavières with perhaps just a bit more in the way of spice elements." The review also noted the "lovely detail to the lightly mineral-suffused medium weight flavors," and mentioned a "bit more austerity on the more firmly structured finish that is well-buffered by the palate coating extract." The reviewer concluded by stating that the wine is "very impressive for its level."

In summary, the 2011 Domaine Leroy Nuits St Georges aux Allots is a highly regarded Pinot Noir with excellent reviews from notable publications. Its balance of fruit, mineral elements, and structured finish make it a noteworthy choice for any wine enthusiast.
