Description
The 2018 Cave de Tain Hermitage Gambert de Loche is a beautiful French wine from the Hermitage, one of the most famous wine regions in the Rhône Valley. This wine is made by Cave de Tain, one of the most respected cooperatives in the region. The house is known for producing high-quality wines from grapes grown in its own vineyards, and the Gambert de Loche is one of their flagship wines.
This wine is made from 100% Syrah, the typical grape of the Hermitage region. The 2018 vintage is praised for its depth and complexity. It has an intense, dark red color and gives aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries, spices, leather and a hint of smoke on the nose. The minerality and refined tannins give the wine a beautiful balance and a long, pleasant finish. The wine is usually aged in oak barrels, which gives it structure and a subtle woody note without dominating the fruit.
The 2018 Hermitage Gambert de Loche has the potential to age for many years and will develop further complexity over time. Drinking straight, it can be enjoyed with rich dishes such as game, stews and mature cheeses, where its robust flavour profiles will come into their own.

ABOUT CAVE DE TAIN
Without a doubt the top in the Hermitage and the Crozes Hermitage. In the Cave de Tain, around 370 farmers are united in a company with vision, passion for quality and a feel for the market. In the northern Rhône, they are leading with a share of more than 50% of the production. The vineyards are located on both the right bank, St.-Joseph, Cornas and St.-Peray, and on the left bank, Crozes Hermitage and Hermitage, of the Rhône and are located a maximum of 20 kilometers from the Cave. For many international winemakers, the wines produced here are the reference for their Syrah production. The crown jewels of the company are its own vineyards on the Hermitage mountain. The steep terraced vineyards with a granite soil bring out the best in the Syrah grape. International assessments between 90 and 100 points are "normal" for these wines. Cave de Tain owns no less than 25% of this unique piece of wine-growing area. Read more in the Tab: Winery

Named for the founder of the co-op, the 2018 Hermitage Gambert de Loche includes fruit from such illustrious lieux-dits as L'Ermite and Le Méal, although much of the blend comes from sites lower on the hill and further east along the slope. A whopping 70% matured in new, 228-liter barrels, while a further 16% went into new 400-liter barrels. While the wine is oaked, it's not overly oaky, with concentrated, dark berry flavors that stand up to the wood. Blackberries and cassis are complemented by hints of cedar and dried spices on the nose, while the full-bodied palate is expansive and generous in the mouth. The richly textured finish is concentrated and long. While not unapproachable now, this should only getter better over the next several years and drink well through the first half of the next decade.

A dense, well-built and generous red. It shows aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, grilled meat, hot stones and sweet spices. It’s full-bodied with fine, firm tannins. Intense core of berries and dark chocolate meets a kick of peppercorns on the palate. Vivid and well structured with a long, focused and peppery finish. Drink or hold.

From: Power and Energy: The 2018 and 2017 Northern Rhônes (Apr 2020)
Deep, glass-staining violet. Powerful, mineral-accented black and blue fruit liqueur, olive paste, incense and floral pastille aromas take on exotic spice and cola notes with aeration. Sappy and deeply concentrated but lively on the palate, offering boysenberry, cassis and fruitcake flavors that are sharpened by building mineral and cracked pepper flourishes. The mineral note drives an impressively long, focused finish, and youthfully chewy tannins add shape and closing grip.

The wines from this quasi-co-op (I say “quasi” because all the wines are made from fruit crushed and fermented at the sprawling, highly modern Cave de Tain facility in Tain l’Hermitage) have never been better than they are today. No expense is spared, from a state-of-the-art optical grape sorter to highly specialized crushers and fermenters to aging foudres and barrels from France’s best tonneliers. Winemaking is overseen by the talented team of Xavier Frouin and Olivier Ciosi, and the range of offerings is vast, encompassing numerous bottlings from Hermitage, Crozes-Hermitage, Saint-Joseph (both red and white), Cornas and Saint-Péray. While the wines are usually quite polished, they’re by no means industrial or international in style. With few exceptions, alcohol levels are moderate and oak presence is understated. Wine lovers should be paying more attention to the work going on here.

On the left bank of the Rhône, between Lyon and Valence, the Hermitage hill dominates the Crozes-Hermitage appellation. From north to south, the vineyards of Saint-Joseph, Cornas and Saint-Péray spread out on terraces, on the right bank.
On their five cru vineyards, such as in Collines Rhodaniennes, the winegrowers of the Cave de Tain l'Hermitage offer an unparalleled variety of vineyard plantations, with access to all terroirs.
