Cave de Tain 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 de Tain 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 de Tain 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 de Tain l'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 Cave de Tain l'Hermitage produces and sells five appellation controlee wines. The objective of the Cave is to provide wine lovers around the world with authentic wines which bear the full character of their individual 'terroir', bringing out the best through careful and non-intrusive vinification methods. Deep red coloured wine it has a huge concentration of ripe blackberry, cassis on the nose as well as a hint of vanilla and spices. A very complex wine it is both Silky and full-bodied while the tannins are markedly present leading to an enjoyable finish. (6 x 75 cl)
