"A white Hermitage with exceptional aging potential"

“The 2021 Hermitage Nobles Rives Blanc is a solid wine, offering plenty of lush floral notes, honeyed minerality, and more citrus and orange-hued fruit. Medium-bodied, balanced, and elegant, it should gain depth with a year or two of bottle aging.” (Jeb Dunnuck 2022)

Wine Production

Gentle pressing of the grapes, selection of the juices with protection against oxidation as soon as the first juices begin to flow, cold settling for 24 to 48 hours, alcoholic fermentation in tanks at 18–20°C and in barrels, with the wine transferred to barrels during fermentation, and malolactic fermentation in oak for 90% of the volume.

Livestock Farming

Part of the wine was aged in stainless steel tanks and the rest in 400-liter barrels (25% new, 25% used for one wine, and 25% used for two wines) on fine lees for 8 months, with regular stirring.

Rated estate (2023 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)

About the estate:

The winery now has a fermentation facility large enough to vinify the grapes it receives and produce its wide range of wines. It stands on equal footing with the region’s best producers. In Hermitage—the pride of the members, who can count on the vineyard plots bequeathed by founder Gambert de Loche—the Epsilon cuvée is impressive. With a limited production (1,500 bottles), it is a great wine that every discerning wine lover should have in their cellar.

Rated Estate (2023 Guide) Award-Winning Wines (This producer's wines regularly receive awards from the guide)

About the estate:

Founded in 1933 by Louis Gambert de Loche, the high-quality Tain-l'Hermitage cooperative winery has 310 members and, with more than 1,000 hectares of vineyards, produces approximately 50% of the wines from the northern Rhône Valley on its own. It also owns 26 hectares of its own vineyards, including 21 hectares in Hermitage. A trusted name in the region, the winery acquired brand-new production facilities in 2014, enabling it to expand its range of single-vineyard selections.

Estate rated "Recommended" (Wine producer recommended by Robert Parker—The Wine Advocate)

About the estate:

As the largest cooperative winery in the northern Rhône, the Cave de Tain is a must-see for tourists visiting the region, if only because it has a large parking lot located at the foot of Hermitage Hill, offering a panoramic view all the way down the slope. The wines cover nearly all of the region’s appellations—with the exception of Condrieu and Côte-Rôtie—in a range of quality levels and styles. Collectively, the members cultivate just under 30 hectares of Hermitage, making them the second-largest landowner in that appellation. The entry-level wines are often pleasant and well-made, offering good value for the price, while some of the top-tier cuvées are ripe and oaky—perhaps even offering too much of both for some consumers.
