ABOUT US

1. We Speak The Language of The Sommelier

Kemme Wines was founded by Maxim Kemme.

The foundation of the company lies on the restaurant floor. Maxim gained most of his wine experience from working at The Vineyard, one of the most renowned wine hotels in the world. Combined with earning the Court of Master Sommeliers Certified Sommelier title and working at Michelin-starred restaurants in the Netherlands, defines how we see wine today.

During these years, certain wines stood out. Wines with identity. Wines with precision. Wines that stayed with you. Many of these wines were not available in the Dutch market.

That realization became the starting point of Kemme Wines.

We import wines that excite sommeliers. Wines that add something to a list. Every bottle we select has a reason to be there. It has to tell a story. It has to perform at the table. That is what Kemme Wines is all about.

2. A Sommelier-Curated Portfolio

Kemme Wines offers a carefully curated portfolio of wines from both the Old and New World.

Our selection includes iconic producers such as Clos de l'Obac, Weingut Robert Weil and Lokoya. At the same time, we work with a new generation of producers such as Capensis, Félix Callejo, Château de Charodon and many more.

We focus on producers with a clear identity. Winemakers who understand their terroir and make precise decisions in both vineyard and cellar. Wines that bring energy, balance and depth.

Today, we supply some of the best restaurants in the Netherlands. From Michelin-starred tasting menus to modern à la carte concepts.
