95 points Tim Atkin, MW (Decanter): "This north-facing left bank Premier Cru comes into its own in vintages like 2018. Made from two parcels totally 1ha of 65-year-old vines,it's suitably taut, saline and cool, with none of the heaviness that mars some wines from warmer sites. Floral, balanced and elegant, it has stony minerality to spare and a chiselled, refined finish. Drinking Window: 2020-2028. (Jul 2019)"

93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "According to Didier Séguier, Les Lys’ northerly exposition always gives it a leg up in solar vintages like 2018, so it is no surprise that the 2018 has turned out beautifully. The bouquet is flat out gorgeous in this vintage, wafting from the glass in a mix of fresh lime, apple, flinty minerality, citrus zest and again, dried flowers in the upper register. On the palate the wine is bright, pure and full-bodied, with a very mineral personality (especially for 2018!), with great mid-palate depth and grip, snappy acids and superb length on the focused and beautifully balanced finish. This is great juice in 2018- buy some of it in magnum if you can! 2024-2055. (Nov/Dec 2019)"
