Description: Cave deTain was founded in 1933 by 100 winegrowers from the district of Tain l'Hermitage. Its first president Louis Gambert de Loche was a land owner and a great humanist, from whom the Cave deTain 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 Cave deTain l'Hermitage merged with the Cave de Saint Donat, adding high qualtiy vins de pays to the range, particularly Syrah and Marsanne varietals. Today the Cave deTain l'Hermitage has 390 grower-members and a total vineyard area of 1.200 ha, of which 985 ha are A.O.C. wines.

Domaine de la Belliviere ROUGE-GORGE Coteaux du Loir
Description: This well made red uses the Pineau d'Aunis grape and offers aromas of sour cherry, almond, and fennel. Bright and juicy yet also dense and creamy on the the palate, with rich black cherry fruit it has an invigoratingly tart fruit skin edge and chalky undertone. This wine practically explodes with concentrated bitter black cherry, plum, and herbal elixirs in a finish also marked by a continued counterpoint of creaminess with subtle chalk and fruit skin astringency. Le Rouge Gorge is a homage to this small bird which appears in spring and celebrates the Pineau d'Aunis grape variety. From the Coteaux du Loir appelation the fruit comes from vines aged 25 to 45 years. After the manual harvest the grapes spend one month in vat for alcoholic fermentation, breaking the cap, systematic blending of free run wine with press wine and natural malolactic fermentation in recent barrels. Finally the wine matures one year to 18 months. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £80.49
