92-94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2018 Meursault 1er Cru Les Perrières unwinds in the glass with a crisp bouquet of citrus oil, crushed chalk and nutmeg, followed by a medium to full-bodied, racy and incisive palate that's tight-knit, tensile and mineral. Even in this generally forward white Burgundy vintage, this will need and reward bottle age. (Jan 2020)"

91-94 points Jasper Morris, MW: "From the upper part, three plots. It is in tank having been racked and fined. Fuller colour in primrose style. This is a very fresh nose rather than the heavier style. Further back on the palate the weight of this terroir starts to show. A good example of Meursault Perrières. (Nov 2019)"

91-94 points Fine Wine Review: "Stony Perrières nose. More concentration, some peach, but not great depth. Some tension. Domaine wine. (4/3/20)"

93 points World of Fine Wine: "Tight, tense, all the chalk and cream in a tight knot, very fresh and fine. Great length. (Issue #67; 2020)"

93 points James Suckling: "A tight, fruity white with sliced-apple and light banana notes and some stone undertones. Medium-to full-bodied, reserved, dense and beautiful. Flavorful finish. Drink or hold. (8/25/20)"

18/20 points Jancis Robinson, MW (JancisRobinson.com): "BP&F have 1.2 ha in two plots. One, in Dessous in an old Roman quarry on the border with Puligny, producing wines that Frédéric Weber describes as true Perrières, salty and rich. The other plot is higher, retains more acidity and produces wine close in style to Chevalier-Montrachet.Intense and really big! Green fruit but alcohol evident. Overall demonstrating the concentration of Perrières with, in this case, a hint of almonds. Drinking Window: 2021-2033. (7/6/21)"
