Persoonlijke gegevens
The Cave de Tain Les Hauts d'Eole Crozes-Hermitage Blanc is a classic white Rhône wine, complex, round, and with fresh acidity. In the glass, it is a clear, straw-yellow Rhône with green hues. The aroma is complex. Delicious stone fruit (peach, apricot), acacia, anise, and toasted bread. Round and crisp at the same time, with a long finish and fresh citrus acidity. Very elegant and mineral, as is actually the case for all Cave de Tain wines.
The Les Hauts d'Eole Crozes-Hermitage Blanc is a delicious wine for an aperitif with a cheese board featuring cheeses such as Chaource, Brie, and Saint-Maure. You can also continue drinking throughout dinner, as this white Hermitage pairs beautifully with a wide variety of seafood and fish in creamy sauces (e.g., beurre blanc), as well as white meat and poultry.
ABOUT CAVE DE TAIN
Without a doubt, the pinnacle of Hermitage and Crozes Hermitage. At Cave de Tain, approximately 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 players with a share of over 50% of production. The vineyards are situated on both the right bank (St.-Joseph, Cornas, and St.-Peray) and the left bank (Crozes Hermitage and Hermitage) of the Rhône, and are located within a maximum of 20 kilometers from 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 the Hermitage mountain. The steep, terraced vineyards with a granite soil bring out the best in the Syrah grape. International ratings between 90 and 100 points are "normal" for these wines. Cave de Tain owns no less than 25% of this unique piece of winegrowing territory. Read more in the tab: Winery

| Sommy Pairing Beschrijving | De 2022 Cave de Tain Les Hauts d'Eole Crozes-Hermitage Blanc toont een rijk smaakpalet van rijpe perzik en abrikoos, witte bloemen en acacia, met subtiele anijs‑tonen, geroosterd brood en een frisse, minerale citruszuren die de ronde, mediumvolle structuur in balans houden. Hierdoor vormt hij een ideale begeleider van gevogelte, romige witvis en schelpdieren omdat de levendige zuurgraad vetten en sauzen doorsnijdt en de minerale tonen de zilte smaken van zeevruchten versterken, terwijl zachte kazen zoals Chaource en brie met zijn ronde textuur mooi harmoniseren; extra geslaagd bij gerechten met beurre blanc, licht gegrilde of in de oven bereide vis en kipfilet met een romige paddenstoelensaus. |

Lemon rind, grapefruit, aniseed, cedar and toasted nuts on the nose of this creamy and muscular white. It’s full-bodied and firm. Drink now or hold.

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.
- By Josh Raynolds on March 2020
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.
