The Cave de Tain Estate
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.
Today the Cave de Tain has 370 grower-members and a total vineyard area of 1,140 hectares, of which 1,000 hectares are A.O.C. wines. At the foot of the famous Hermitage hillside, the Cave de Tain produces and sells five appellation controlee wines:
The volume of these five wines vinified by the Cave de Tain represents almost half of the total volume of all northern Rhone AOC wines produced. The Cave also produces single varietal vins de pays wines from Syrah and Marsanne grapes grown on the outskirts of the appellation areas in the northern Rhone hills.
