Description
The Cave de Tain Les Hauts d'Eole Crozes-Hermitage Blanc is a classic white Rhône wine, complex, round and with fresh acids. In the glass it has a clear straw yellow Rhône wine with green hues. The smell is complex. Delicious stone fruit (peach, apricot), acacia, anise and toasted bread. Round and crispy at the same time and with a long finish with fresh citrus acids. Very elegant and minerally as is actually the case for all Cave de Tain wines
Les Hauts d'Eole Crozes-Hermitage Blanc is a delicious wine to drink with a cheese board with cheeses such as Chaource, brie and Saint-Maure. You can also drink it with dinner, because this white Hermitage goes well with a whole range of seafood, fish in creamy sauces (e.g. beurre blanc), but also with white meat and poultry.
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

The honeyed pear and citrus-scented 2020 Crozes Hermitage Les Hauts d'Eole is a shining example of the appellation, boasting ample weight and richness, but balancing that with structure and freshness. It's medium to full-bodied, round and ripe, yet features a bright beam of acidity and salinity that forms the core of the wine and lingers on the finish. Drink this Marsanne-dominated blend over the next few years.
The largest cooperative cellar in the Northern Rhône, Cave de Tain is a must stop for tourists visiting the region, if for no other reason than it has a large parking lot that sits right at the base of the Hermitage hill, offering a panoramic view up the slope. The wines cover nearly every appellation in the region, excepting Condrieu and Côte-Rôtie, in a range of quality levels and styles. Collectively, the members farm just under 30 hectares of Hermitage, making them that appellation's second-largest landholder. The entry-level wines are often pleasant and well-made, offering decent value for money, while some of the higher-end cuvées are ripe and oaky, maybe even offering too much of both for some consumers.

Vivid, juicy and mellow for the appellation, mostly from marsanne. The nose shows notes of yellow fruit, warm herbs and sweet spices. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity. Vivid, fruity and agreeable. Fruity finish.

Saturated ruby. Lively dark scents are complicated by subtle spice, olive paste and floral accents. Seamless and broad on the palate, offering vibrant blackberry and cherry flavors that open up slowly with air. A sexy violet note comes up on the penetrating finish, which shows impressive tenacity and smooth, harmonious tannins. I find this wine to be pretty accessible already, as is the case with numerous wines from the vintage.

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.
