Decanter, July 2019

This comes from two parcels, facing east and south-west, respectively, making a very tidy 2.5ha in total. Showing the delicate touch of one of the very best winemakers in Chablis, this is a saline, focused, wonderfully...

Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy, May 2019

(93-96 points) Fine pale lemon colour. Some warmth and spice to the nose, typical of the appellation. Just as you think it is easy-going another dimension of energy cracks on, displaying warmth and sunshine by all means...

Wine Enthusiast, December 2020

Funky reduction still dominates this wine's nose with yeasty fumes, but underneath bright lemon notes shine through. The palate comes in with compact concentration and bundled but buffered energy. Drive and verve are...

Lots of bitter-lemon character with dried apples, steel and some dried white pineapple. Full-bodied with bright acidity and a fruity finish. Drink or hold.

Vinous, September 2020

(93+ points) The 2018 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru is the most straitlaced and austere on the nose among Fevre’s Grand Crus, but unlike the Valmur, intuition tells me that this is saving something for later. The palate...

Wine Spectator, December 2020

Ripe notes of peach and green plum are offset by wild herb and bitter citrus peel accents in this tensile white. It finishes on the compact side, with fine length. Drink now through 2027. – BS
