91-94 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "The Fèvre holding comes from the top of the vineyard by the wood, and has delivered only a small crop unfortunately. Pure clear primrose, very stylish sensual wine, still, some gas, which is helpful and will be maintained. Very succulent, more character than usual, with a crisp fresh backbone and exceptional length. (July 2020)"

93+ points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "Cropped at a mere 17 hectoliters per hectare, the 2019 Chablis 1er Cru Les Lys has turned out brilliantly, unwinding in the glass with notes of crisp stone fruit, pear and green apple, complemented by subtle hints of oyster shell and mandarin. Medium to full-bodied, chiseled and precise, with tangy acids and a pungently chalky finish, it will reward bottle age. Drink: 2025-2045. (Aug 2021)"

93 points La Revue du Vin de France: "Concentrated, broad and fresh, Les Lys comes from a late-ripening terroir: its finish is chewy with persistence. (2022)"

93 points Bettane & Desseauve Guide 2022: "The fruitiness is discreet in favor of saline notes already present in the mouth. A great success for this less sunny terroir, linked to its slightly northern exposure on the top of the vaillons. The finish is persistent and tasty."

92 points/'Outstanding,' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "An airier and more elegant if more restrained nose freely offers up its aromas of mineral reduction, acacia, citrus and iodine. The tightly wound and notably intense flavors exude evident minerality on the super-sleek, bone-dry and chiseled finish. I would underscore that this is unusually powerful in terms of what is typical for Les Lys with sneaky good length. One to consider. Drink: 2026+. (Oct 2021)"
