Cave de Tain - Hermitage Nobles Rives blanc 2021

"A white Hermitage with great ageing potential".

"Hermitage Nobles Rives Blanc 2021 is a solid wine, offering plenty of sappy flowers, honeyed minerals and more orange-tinged citrus and fruit. Medium-bodied, balanced and elegant, it should gain weight with a year or two of bottle age." (Jeb Dunnuck 2022)

Cave de Tain - Hermitage Nobles Rives rouge 2018

4.6/5 (7 reviews)

"An irresistible bottle, and for a long time to come!"

"Once again, the Tain winery has won unanimous praise for its concentrated, elegant Hermitage wines, with perfectly tamed oak. This cuvée immediately won the hearts of tasters with its fiery nose combining candied black berries and roasted scents (cocoa, roasted coffee). The presence of very ripe grapes can also be felt on the concentrated, suave and powerful palate, built on fine, tight tannins, the fruit of skilful ageing in Burgundy barrels of different ages (30% new). The finish is long and fragrant, with notes of plum and sweet spices. A bottle that's already irresistible, and for a long time to come". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2022)

Cave de Tain - Cornas Arènes Sauvages 2020

"Everything you'd expect from a Cornas and more!

"50-year-old vines and 16 months' ageing in oak have presided over the birth of this confidently balanced, nuanced cuvée, with its open nose of raspberry jelly, violet candy and black pepper, underlined by toasty, caramelized oak notes. A lovely eloquence that continues on the round, concentrated palate, stimulated by a fine mentholated freshness and supported by powerful tannins with an auspicious firmness". (Le Guide Hachette 2024)

Cave de Tain - Hermitage Le Temps d’une rencontre rouge 2019

"A MOF (Meilleur Ouvrier de France) vintage".

Let yourself be seduced by an exceptional cuvée, the fruit of an exchange between Laurent Derhé, Meilleur Ouvrier de France Sommelier 2007, Gaëtan Bouvier, Meilleur Sommelier de France 2016, and Cave de Tain. An Hermitage with an intense, gourmand nose reminiscent of black fruits, slightly enhanced by notes of warm smoke, noble wood and black pepper. The palate is full-bodied, imposing and well-balanced, characterized by a fleshy, silky texture, where racy tannins provide a relief that is both massive and refined. The finish is fresh, offering aromas of small black berries with great intensity.

Cave de Tain Vin de France Syrah rouge

"Aromas of juicy strawberries, dried rose petals and sage express themselves on the nose of this wine. Medium-bodied, the palate offers flavors of cooked raspberries, vanilla and dried herbs." (Wine Enthusiast 2023). A typical reflection of Syrah, this fleshy, silky wine reveals the terroir of both banks of the Northern Rhône.

Cave de Tain - Crozes Hermitage Les Hauts du Fief 2019

" Favorite 1J1V!"

"Aromas of black olive and black loam appear on the nose of the 2019 Crozes Hermitage les Hauts du Fief. It amply illustrates the positive aspects of the vintage, slightly sacrificing aromatic fireworks in favor of power, concentration and richness. The palate is full-bodied and ample, finishing long and velvety." (Wine Advocate 2022)

Cave de Tain - Collines Rhodaniennes Domaine Pierre Secrète rouge 2020

3.3/5 (6 reviews)

Domaine Pierre Secrète combines fruit and character in a deep, intense red color. A nose of wild red fruit (blueberry, blackcurrant) with a hint of roasted coffee. On the palate, ripe fruit aromas (cherry, blackcurrant coulis) with an elegant tannic structure. A low price that will appeal to everyone.

Cave de Tain Cornas Cornas Bio 2018

"Nice acidity in this wine where the tannins are more caressing than in Nobles-Rives, a little atypical for the appellation but well made." (Le Guide Bettane + Desseauve)

Cave de Tain - Collines Rhodaniennes Le Grand Nord 2020

4/5 (7 reviews)

Produced from parcels located in the cantons of Saint-Donat, Tain and Tournon, this fresh, expressive white wine is marked by the typical characteristics of Viognier: pear, apricot, acacia. On the palate, roundness and greediness play around citrus notes citrus (lemon, grapefruit), white flowers and white-fleshed white-fleshed fruit. The finish is full-bodied and elegant. A real delight!
