92-95 points Jasper Morris MW (Inside Burgundy): "Clear light bright lemon, the spices show on the nose, which is right for this vineyard, but there is both power and discretion on hand. Not quite biscuit but there is sort of a wholemeal texture here. Brilliant wine for those who want the more powerful side of Chablis. Still a bit of stone licking at the back. (Jun 2021)"
94+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "Domaine Fèvre’s 2020 Montée de Tonnerre is another excellent young premier cru. The bouquet is bright, complex and piercing in its precision, jumping from the glass in a mix of apple, pear, tart orange, gorgeously complex, salty minerality, citrus peel and a topnote of white flowers. On the palate the wine is racy, full-bodied and rock solid at the core, with a great girdle of acidity, superb mineral drive and cut and a very long, complex and youthful finish. Great juice in the making. 2027-2065. (Nov/Dec 2021)"
94 points William Kelley (Wine Advocate): "The 2020 Chablis 1er Cru Montée de Tonnerre is a terrific success, unfurling in the glass with aromas of crisp orchard fruit, white flowers, confit citrus and oatmeal. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and complete, it's fleshy and seamless, with fine depth at the core, racy acids and a long, expansive finish. After several years where this site bore the brunt of hail and frost, Montée de Tonnerre is back with a vengeance. Drink: 2025-2045. (Jul 2022)"
94 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "Didier says that this cuvée is for Riesling drinkers, and I see his point. To be clear, he's speaking specifically of this Montée de Tonnerre with its three terroirs that each bring something markedly different to the cuvée. The nose is effusive with melon, peach pit and an exotic note of banana peel. The sassy acidity is invigorating rather than cutting, and the finish goes on and on and on. 2022-32. (2022)"
