Ivory Coast...? More like the Gold Coast here in St. Joseph in the Northern Rhône as far as we are concerned. Especially for the Marsanne grape variety that does very well on the granite soil. Cave de Tain l'Hermitage does the rest. The Marsanne grapes are picked from selected vineyards with old vines and produce a wine that combines gold and green in its color. Wonderfully fresh and elegant with notes of lemon and grapefruit but also the typical fresh hazelnut and white flowers for the Marsanne. In the taste a combination of fullness with a tight edge due to the clear minerality. Also a roasted almond and therefore also a golden edge in the aftertaste. It is a white wine with a little fat, low acids but always that attractive minerality of the weathered granite soil that gives it that elegance and tightness.

Although the wine is great stand-alone at 10-12 degrees, it really becomes a feast of refinement with, for example, prawns 'à la plancha', or a sea bass with fennel. Top combination also with a goat cheese such as a Picodon or Rocamadour.

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

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.
