Hermitage, Gambert de Loche 1995La Cave de Tain l'Hermitage is an institution of the Rhne. It boasts the largest surface area of vines in Hermitage and Crozes Hermitage and vinifies a total of 1,000 hectares which amounts to half of the appellations of the northern Rhne. This dynamic operation produces many cuves including fifty or so single vineyard cuves and even some organic wines. A true reference of the region.
