"A third of the entire harvest gave the fruit its sweetness and brightness. An intense, luminous wine with crisp tannins." (RVF Special Vintage 2014 - June 2015) With its ruby color, Camille offers a concentrated nose with notes of black fruit coulis (blackcurrant, blackberry...) finely blended with toasted nuances from its barrel aging. The palate is round and rich, with silky tannins that promise a great wine for aging. A very fine Sancerre!

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2024 guide) 2 stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more consistent and uniform than the previous one)
About the estate:
Julien and Clément Raimbault represent the next generation of Sancerre winemakers: trained by the Pinard brothers and Alphonse Mellot, they cultivate the family's 21 hectares of vineyards on clay-limestone terroirs. The vines are grown according to organic farming principles (but without certification). The top-of-the-range wines, Les Chasseignes and Zeste for whites, and Camille for reds, come from the oldest vines planted on the best-exposed plots. The range is very consistent and successful in both colors: the reds combine power and elegance, while the whites are pure and refined. With very reasonable prices, this address is more than just a safe bet: it's a real Gem

About wine:
One-third of the entire harvest gave the fruit its sweetness and brightness. An intense, luminous wine with crisp tannins.
About the estate:
The Raimbault brothers, Julien and Clément, embody the new generation of Sancerre winemakers. In previous editions, we highlighted wines that were clear, modern, and smooth, but perhaps a little too polished. Certain parameters need to be adjusted so that winemakers can break free from this technically flawless framework and offer a more vibrant definition of Sancerre. "We are delighted to see a greater sense of freedom in the expression of the wines. They are now more relaxed and indulgent, while retaining the precision that has become their trademark. 2022, a sunny vintage, is a balancing act! The pleasure experienced during tasting has earned the estate its first star.

Note and opinion by Mr. GILLES D. Published on 11/08/2020
Remarkable Sancerre made from Pinot Noir. Round and full-bodied on the palate with silky, supple tannins and red fruit flavors. Beautifully persistent finish. I will have very fond memories of this wine, as well as the roast quail.
