87 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from 10 to 15 year old vines). This also displays a classic nose of green fruit, citrus and oyster shell nuances that can be found on the very fresh, crisp and dry flavors that possess enough flesh to be enjoyed now but I would advise cellaring this for 2 to 3 years first. In sum, perfectly good if not distinguished for its level. Drink: 2012+. (Oct 2010)"

88 points and 'Don't miss!' Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from Les Pargues). This is also quite floral and somewhat curiously less elegant as the green fruit and lemon zest aromas don?t have quite the same lift. This is bigger and richer with more volume as well to the fleshy medium-bodied flavors that possess reasonably good depth and length. This is a more imposing effort but not obviously better. Drink: 2014+. (Sep 2012)"
88 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "The soft, pretty side of the year comes through in Billaud-Simon’s 2011 Chablis. This is an especially polished Chablis that should drink well pretty much upon release. Floral, minty notes add lift on the delineated, classy finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012+. (Aug 2012)"
86-88 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Pale green-edged yellow. Aromas of lemon, lime, flinty minerality and spearmint. Sweet, ripe and nicely balanced, with a peach flavor joined by an exotic suggestion of banana. Finishes with good length. (Jul 2012)"

89 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(a négociant wine; note that Champs Royaux is a trademarked cuvée name, not the name of a vineyard). Here too there is a hint of sulfur that will probably dissipate in short order. There is a pretty mix of pear, green fruit and iodine hints that merge seamlessly into rich, round and very generous flavors that benefit from a touch of backend minerality. This delicious and saline-infused effort is really very good. Worth considering. 89/2014+. (Oct 2012)"
88 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The Champs Royaux bottling is the Chablis villages made from purchased grapes by William Fèvre, and the 2011 is a lovely and forward example of the vintage that would work very nicely on restaurant wine lists. The very pretty nose offers up scents of green apple, pink grapefruit, chalky soil tones, a touch of grassiness and spring flowers. On the palate the wine is medium-full, fresh and beautifully balanced, with good acids and very fine length and grip on the wide open and succulent finish. Lovely wine. 2013-2020. (Nov/Dec 2012)"

87 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Very pale color. Aromatic nose combines lemon, minerals and crushed stone. Precise and intense if a bit youthfully astringent. Strong lemony acidity gives cut to this spicy Petit Chablis. (Jul/Aug 2011)"
87 points Wine & Spirits: "Scents of jasmine and gentle leesiness mark this wine with the pleasant vegetal greenness of young Chablis. It should open over the next year or two in bottle. (Oct 2012)"
