The generosity of Crozes-Hermitage is well known to lovers of Rhône Cru wines based on the noble Syrah grape. Crozes-Hermitage is located in the northern Rhône appellation, which offers the greatest wealth of expression. In terms of surface area and number of winemakers, it is the primary vineyard area of Cave de Tain (16 times larger than the Hermitage vineyard), where we find two types of soil: granite and galets (small surface stones) in infinite combinations:
- pebbly and filtering soils of the Rhône or the Isère in the south
- predominantly granite soils in a cooler climate in the north

Crozes-Hermitage stretches around the Hermitage hill, and Cave de Tain boasts the finest vineyards there. Crozes-Hermitage has been classified as an AOC (Provincial Designation of Origin) for red and white wines since 1937. Important rules are that the alcohol content must be at least 10% and the yield must not exceed 45 hectoliters per hectare. The red wine must be composed of at least 85% Syrah grapes and a maximum of 15% Marsanne and Roussanne. The white wine must be composed of Marsanne and Roussanne.

The Cave de Tain Nobles Rives Crozes-Hermitage Blanc has a fresh, light straw yellow color with emerald hues. The aroma is rich and complex, with citrus, tropical fruits (mango and pineapple), anise, and a hint of almond bitterness. Well-balanced. With crisp citrus acidity, like biting into a fresh, crisp grape. Lovely length. Time to enjoy! With its crisp acidity, this French white wine makes a delicious appetizer. Enjoy it with food: cooked fish with a light, creamy sauce and a touch of lemon, or white meat, also with a squeeze of lemon (for example, Viennese schnitzel or chicken). It also pairs wonderfully with salads.

FACT: In the "Attachments" tab, you'll find the official fact sheet for this fine wine. We'll automatically send it to you when you order it. The wine is stored in our climate-controlled Wine Warehouse, and if you pick it up, you'll often receive a nice discount. You'll see your discount immediately when you select "Pickup" at checkout.

ABOUT CAVE DE TAIN

Undoubtedly the top in the Hermitage and Crozes Hermitage regions. In the Cave de Tain, approximately 370 farmers are united in a company with vision, a passion for quality, and a keen eye for the market. They are leading in the northern Rhône, accounting for over 50% of the production. The vineyards are located on both the right bank (St. Joseph, Cornas, and St. Peray) and the left bank (Crozes Hermitage and Hermitage) of the Rhône, and are within a maximum of 20 kilometers of the Cave. For many international winemakers, the wines produced here are the benchmark for their Syrah production. The crown jewels of the company are its own vineyards on Mount Hermitage. The steeply terraced vineyards with granite soils bring out the best in the Syrah grape. International ratings of between 90 and 100 points are "normal" for these wines. Cave de Tain owns a whopping 25% of this unique wine-growing region. Read more in the Tab: Winery

Sommy Pairing Beschrijving De 2024 Cave de Tain Nobles Rives Crozes Hermitage Blanc biedt een frisse en complexe smaakervaring met levendige citrus- en tropische fruittonen, aangevuld met subtiele hints van anijs en amandel. De knisperende zuren zorgen voor een mooie balans en een lange, verfijnde afdronk. Deze wijn past uitstekend bij lichte gerechten zoals gekookte vis met een romige citroensaus of wit gevogelte, omdat de frisse zuren en fruitigheid de smaken mooi aanvullen en verfrissen. Ook gerechten met een lichte kruidigheid of een knisperende salade vormen een perfect huwelijk, vooral wanneer ze bereid zijn met een vleugje citroen of verse kruiden die de fruitige en frisse kwaliteiten van de wijn benadrukken. Een goede bereidingswijze zoals het stomen van vis of het grillen van kip met citroen en verse kruiden brengt de frisheid van de wijn nog beter tot zijn recht.
