"A third of the harvest was whole, giving the fruit softness and brightness. An intense, luminous wine with crisp tannins." (RVF Spécial Millésime 2014 - June 2015) In its ruby color, Camille offers a concentrated nose with notes of black fruit coulis (blackcurrant, blackberry...) finely blended with toasty nuances from its barrel aging. Round and rich on the palate, with silky tannins that suggest a great wine for laying down. A very fine Sancerre!

Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated (guide 2024) 2*Stars (A serious and recommendable production, but a little more regular and homogeneous than the previous one)
About the domain :
Julien and Clément Raimbault are the next generation of Sancerre winemakers: trained by the Pinard brothers and Alphonse Mellot, they manage the family's 21-hectare vineyard on clay-limestone terroirs. The vines are grown according to the principles of organic agriculture (but without certification). The top-of-the-range cuvées, white Les Chasseignes and Zeste, and red Camille, are made from the oldest vines planted on the best-exposed plots. The very homogeneous range succeeds in both colors: the reds combine power and elegance, the whites are pure and slender. With very reasonable prices, this address is more than a sure bet: it's a real Gem !

Wine rated (2015 guide) 16-17/20 (Very good wine)
Domaine rated (guide 2025) 1*Star (Stars in the making or quality winemakers with good production levels, you won't be disappointed when you taste the wines from these estates)
About the wine:
A third of the grapes were harvested whole, giving the fruit softness and radiance. An intense, luminous wine with crisp tannins.
About the domain :
The Raimbault brothers, Julien and Clément, embody the new generation of Sancerre winegrowers. In previous editions, we've highlighted their limpid, modern wines, with no rough edges and a hint of polish. Parameters need to be fine-tuned for the winemakers to emancipate themselves from this technically irreproachable framework and offer a more vibrant definition of sancerre. "We're delighted to see the wines expressing themselves more freely. They are now more relaxed, more greedy, while retaining the precision that has been their trademark. 2022, a solar vintage, is a balancing act! The pleasure of tasting this wine has earned the domaine its first star.

Remarkable Sancerre on Pinot Noir. Round and ample on the palate, with silky, supple tannins and red fruits. Long, lingering finish. I'll remember it fondly, as will the roast quail.
