96 points Andy Howard, MW (Decanter): "Beautiful mix of richness, grace and drive. As always with Fèvre's Les Preuses, this is elegant, long-living and fine. Ultra-stylish and very mineral. From two sections of vines. One situated low down on Les Preuses next to Vincent Dauvissat's plot, on the flatter part facing south, the other on deeper soils, with both adding richness and totalling 2.5ha. Drinking Window: 2026-2036. (10/19/23)"

95 points Christy Canterbury, MW (TimAtkin.com): "This sits at the top of the Valmur slope, but it surprisingly has a vein of clay soil, too, which contributes generously to this wine's fantastic palate density. It's loaded up with perfectly ripe fruits yet has plenty of palate architecture to boot. The flavors start with plumcot, feijoa and star fruit. The intensity of the crunch and length attest to this wine's ability to age to benefit. (2024)"

93-95 points Jasper Morris, MW (Inside Burgundy): "This is a bright and crunchy Preuses with tangy pear peel, digestive cracker and plumcot. Elegance dominates power here, even though there is plenty of both. There is a nice combination of racy acidity and crunchy limestone lightness that makes this weightless yet profound. Hold on to this as long as you can. (2024)"

92-95 points/'Don't miss!' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from two parcels of vines that total 2.55 ha, or 22% of the entire appellation). A toasty nose features notes of smoky grilled shellfish, pear and algae. The dense and equally serious larger-scaled flavors don't have quite the same power yet they are clearly more refined on the markedly bitter citrus zest finish that displays outstanding length. This is exceptionally classy and while it too could use more depth, that is all but assured if given a chance. Drink: 2032+. (Aug 2023)"

92-94 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2022 Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru is not unlike the Valmur on the nose: backward and a little sultry in style, with faint touches of crustacea coming through. The palate is more generous with orchard fruit, hints of apricot and wild peach, and fine acidity. It is very harmonious but without quite the same complexity as the Valmur on the finish. Still, this should give many years of drinking pleasure. Drink: 2026-2045. (Sep 2023)"
