“The NV (2020) Extra Brut Les Prémices is bold and expressive in the glass. Dried apricot, ginger, lemon oil and light exotic overtones confer notable flair throughout. In this release, Prémices is open-knit and engaging, qualities that will serve it well over the coming years. This is one of the best editions I can remember tasting. Dosage is 1 gram per liter. Disgorged: July 2024 (AG)” (02/2025)

92-93 points Tyson Stelzer (The Champagne Guide): "(tasted in 2023 in France and Australia; one-third each of meunier, pinot noir and chardonnay; wild fermented in stainless-steel tanks; unfiltered; aged 3 years on lees; 2019 base vintage disgorged July 2023, 1g/L dosage; 2018 base vintage disgorged July 2022, 2g/L dosage). Francis Egly describes 2019 as a 'very good base' and this is an impressive result for Trigny. It boasts a medium to full copper blush hue and a contrast between stone fruits and citrus zest, with subtle strawberry and red apple fruit. Good body juxtaposes zest and tension, capturing the fruity and primary mood of the harvest, concluding with lovely layers of spicy complexity. The generosity of the 2018 season in the sumptuous style of Egly makes for a creamy and decadent cuvée layered with brioche and vanilla, with a core of strawberry, lemon zest and peach, laced with spice. Lovely balance of acid drive energises a long and appealing finish. (Edition VII; 2024)"
