93 points La Revue du Vin de France: "2021 perfectly suits the domaine's style, delivering precise, dashing, lacy wines... The Fleurie stands out for its controlled power. The scents of grilled fruit and its food friendliness make it typical of the cru. (2024)"

92 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "($62 list; from vines that are 20-70 years old). A shy nose reluctantly offers up its aromas of mostly red berry fruit that is cut with floral and earth wisps. The sleek and attractively textured middleweight flavors possess adequate density while preserving good delineation that carries over to the youthfully austere, focused and balanced finish. This won't wow you with power or concentration but there is solid complexity and sneaky good length while offering excellent development potential. Drink: 2028+. (Aug 2023)"

91 points Neal Martin (Vinous): "The 2021 Fleurie comes from 3-hectares that suffered a lot of grillure in recent years and resulted in Foillard having to uproot parcels in the lieu-dit of 'Champagne'. This needs more encouragement on the nose compared to the Morgons. It is quite ripe considering the vintage - red cherries and crushed strawberry, hints of kirsch. The palate is medium-bodied, taut and crisp with fine tannins, brisk acidity and a touch of bitter cherry on the Morgon-like finish. Fine. Drink: 2024-2035. (May 2023)"
