Description: CavedeTain was founded in 1933 by 100 winegrowers from the district of Tainl'Hermitage. Its first president Louis Gambert de Loche was a land owner and a great humanist, from whom the CavedeTain purchased the Hermitage vineyards. The activity of the winery was extended to include the wines of the right bank of the Rhône when growers from the Saint Joseph appellation decided to join. The range was further strengthened when growers from Cornas and Saint Peray added their wines in 1947. More recently, in 1986, the CavedeTainl'Hermitage merged with the Cavede Saint Donat, adding high qualtiy vins de pays to the range, particularly Syrah and Marsanne varietals. Today the CavedeTainl'Hermitage has 390 grower-members and a total vineyard area of 1.200 ha, of which 985 ha are A.O.C. wines. At the foot of the famous Hermitage hillside, the CavedeTainl'Hermitage produces and sells five appellation controlee wines.
