Our oenologists' opinion

Powerful bouquet

The nose is frank and roasted, with aromas of roasted black fruit, spices, leather and candied prunes.

 

Supple, round attack, with fine balance and finesse.

 

The finish is clean and full-bodied, with black fruit coulis and good persistence without heaviness.

Features

Body ? The body is the way a wine feels inside the mouth. Several factors, such as the alcohol content and the presence of tannins, contribute to the feel of the wine.

Freshness ? The freshness of a wine is defined by its level of acidity. Unlike rounded wines, fresh wines are easy to drink, and are more lively. Acidity plays a necessary part in a wine's structure.

Aging ? All wines do not have the same aging potential. Some are supposed to be consumed at a young age while others must be kept for longer periods of time.

Tannins ? Coming from stems, grape pips and their storage barrels, the tannin gives structure to red wines only.

Do you know ?

Before malolactic fermentation begins, some wines undergo a running-off stage in wood, known as ‘écoulage à chaud’.

 

This separates the free-run juice from the rest before it is transferred to the barrel for final fermentation.

 

This technique, used by winemakers, helps to produce wines with greater complexity and finesse on the palate.

 

Regular tasting is necessary to determine the ideal moment for this key stage.

Domain and appellation

  • Founded in 1933 by Louis Gambert de Loche, Cave de Tain benefits from the expertise of nearly 300 winegrowers spread over approximately 1000 hectares of vineyards, producing wines from the Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph, Cornas, and Saint-Peray appellations, as well as regional wines.

     

    Terroir: Granitic soils. The vines are cultivated on terraced slopes.

     

     

    Winemaking: Manual harvest. Selection of Old Vines and showcase slopes of the appellation. Traditional maceration in concrete tanks at 28°C. Regular pump-overs with the use of a marc sprinkler or pigeage for equipped tanks. Hot maceration (30°C) for 2 weeks. Regular tasting to decide the racking date. Racking of the hot juice under wood before malolactic fermentation in barrels.

     

    Aging: In 400L new barrels (25%), 2nd use barrels (35%), 3rd use barrels (30%), and 4th use barrels (10%), on fine lees for 18 months.
