history
Cave de Tain is a family-driven cooperative with a legacy of winegrowing that spans four generations. Located at the base of the Hermitage hill, they cultivate 22 hectares alongside additional contributions from member winegrowers, focusing exclusively on wines from their own grapes. In 2014, they invested in advanced technology to enhance wine quality across all appellations, paving the way for innovations such as organic and sulfite-free wines. Committed to sustainability, Cave de Tain also fosters a new generation of winemakers who view themselves as active contributors to the winery’s mission. To taste their wines is to experience this dedication firsthand.
Vineyard
Situated in the northern part and on the left bank of the Cotes du Rhone area.
Soil: Granite with fluvio-glacial alluvial deposits of the Rhône, on terraces.
Microclimate with Mediterranean influence, benefiting from maximum sunshine. The vineyard is south oriented and
protected from northern winds.
Winemaking
Handpicked harvest. Traditional maceration in concrete vat at 28°C with soft extraction methods (regular pumping over, delestage at the beginning of the fermentation). Hot postfermentation maceration at 30°. Regular tastings to decide when to run off warm wine ; malolactic fermentation in barrels.
Maturing: Partly aged in tank (10%) and in 228L French oak barrels: (32% new barrels ; 7% in one-year old barrels ; 21% in two years old barrels and 30% in five years old barrels).
Tasting notes
Color : Intense red with purple hints
Aromas : Concentrated ripe black fruits (blackberry, blackcurrant) and liquorice flavours
On the palate: well-balanced with supple tannins. Ageing in barrels brings smoky, spicy and vanilla notes. This wine needs several years in cellar to reveal all its potential (from 3 to 8 years).
Food pairing
Goes well with stewed or roasted meats (duck, beef).
