Cave de Tain l’Hermitage is a wine cooperative based in Cornas. The domaine is also known by its full name, which is Cave Cooperative de Tain l’Hermitage. The cooperative includes domaines in Crozes Hermitage, Cornas, Saint Peray and 21 acres in the prestigious Hermitage appellation. Founded in 1933, the cooperative makes 50% of the wine in the Northern Rhone Valley, and in 2014 opened its new $12.5 million cellar. Cave de Tain l’Hermitage makes a large lineup of red and white wines. The wines earn consistently complimentary reviews. Wine Advocate wrote this in 2012: “I was blown away by this lineup, and it’s rare to find this level of consistent quality from a co-op. Part of the secret here is that, in addition to requiring long-term contracts, paying for the quality of the grapes and owning their own vineyards, they also operate a state of the art cellar that allows them to process just about any size lot they choose. This is a no-expense-spared operation and the results speak for themselves.”
