90/100
Jeb Dunnuck
"Of great nobility and at an affordable price!"
"Brilliant notes of citrus, crushed stone and mentholated herbs emerge from Crozes-Hermitage Nobles Rives Blanc 2022, a pure, medium-bodied, elegant Crozes-Hermitage. It's beautifully balanced, with lively but integrated acidity and a lovely finish." (Jeb Dunnuck 2024)

Domaine rated (guide 2023) 3*Stars (High-quality production that can serve as a benchmark in its sector)
About the domain :
The winery now has a winery of sufficient size to vinify the grapes it brings in and produce its large number of cuvées. It is on a par with the best producers in the region. In Hermitage, the pride of our members who can count on the plot of land bequeathed to them by founder Gambert de Loche, the Epsilon cuvée impresses. A confidential production (1,500 bottles produced), it is a great wine that every discerning wine-lover should have in his cellar.

About the domain :
Founded in 1933 by Louis Gambert de Loche, the high-quality Cave Coopérative de Tain-l'Hermitage has 310 members and, with over 1,000 ha of vines, produces around 50% of the appellations in the northern Rhône Valley. It also owns 26 ha of its own vineyards, including 21 ha of Hermitage. A sure bet in the region, in 2014 it acquired brand-new production facilities enabling it to multiply parcel selections.

About the domain :
The largest cooperative winery in the Northern Rhône, Cave de Tain is a must for tourists visiting the region, if only for the reason that it has a large parking lot at the foot of the Hermitage hill, offering panoramic views all the way down the slope. The wines cover almost all the region's appellations, with the exception of Condrieu and Côte-Rôtie, in a range of quality levels and styles. Collectively, the members farm just under 30 hectares of Hermitage, making them the second largest landowner in this appellation. The entry-level wines are often pleasant and well-made, offering good value for money, while some of the high-end cuvées are ripe and oaky, perhaps offering too much of both for some consumers.

Very pleasant on the nose, quite fat on the palate, full-bodied and with a fine bitterness on the finish.
