In 2018, Burel reached the junior singles final at three major events, the Australian Open, the US Open and the Youth Summer Olympics (YOG). Partnering with compatriot Hugo Gaston, she also won the mixed double bronze medal at the YOG. In October, Burel qualified for the ITF Junior Masters, where she captured her first major title. She became junior world No. 1 the next week, on October 29.

Following her final in Melbourne, Burel was selected as an alternate in the French Fed Cup team for the 2018 first round against Belgium. In September, she reached her first final on the Pro Circuit at Clermont-Ferrand, falling to Lesley Kerkhove.
