95+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "In the rarefied air of the Fèvre 2016 grand crus, it really is hard to choose a favorite, as they are all stunning examples of their underlying terroirs. The 2016 Côte de Bouguerots is a brilliant young wine, wafting from the glass in a fine aromatic blend of pear, apple, fresh lime, flinty and chalky minerality and a potpourri of white flowers in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, concentrated and racy, with great focus and cut, impeccable balance and a very long, nascently complex and energetic finish. Great juice. 2023-2065. (Nov/Dec 2017)"

95 points Jasper Morris, MW: "Glowing pale primrose. There is ripe fruit, a little bit of spice, but with grand cru class and without going overboard. A very light touch of reduction which the fruit blasts through. Very significant weight on the palate, the oak is very well integrated and there is excellent length. DIAM 10 closure. Tasted: May 2019."

95 points Tim Atkin, MW.

93-95 points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "Very pale green-tinged yellow. Classic Chablis scents and flavors of white peach, ginger, oyster shell, iodine and flint. Highly concentrated, tactile wine offering an impression of strong dry extract and a compelling combination of pliancy and energy. A very powerful, structured Chablis with a long, chewy, saline finish. Really saturates the palate without leaving any impression of weightiness. Offers splendid potential. (Aug 2017)"

93 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a 2.2 ha parcel at the bottom section of the vineyard; even so, the vineyard is so steep here that it must be worked entirely by hand as tractors would be dangerous to use). A super-fresh, cool and admirably pure nose exhibits notes of iodine, citrus, white rose petal, peach, sea breeze and mineral reduction scents. Like several wines in the range I very much like the lovely texture of the energetic medium weight flavors that also possess fine concentration before terminating in an intensely saline-infused, balanced and wonderfully long finale. Drink: 2023+. (Oct 2018)"
