Domaine du Grand Tinel

Domaine du Grand Tinel is in Chateauneuf du Pape. Its history dates to the 16th century when the Establet and Jeune families were both landowners and winemakers in the region. In the 1960s the two estates combined through marriage, and in 1972 it was renamed Domaine Grand Tinel. Today the estate is still family owned and run by the siblings Christophe, Beatrice and Isabelle Jeune. The 136-acre estate is planted to 80% Grenache. The remaining acres are planted to Syrah, Grenache, Grenache Blanc, Mourvedre, Counoise, Clairette, Bourbolenc and Cinsault. The estate makes red and white Chateauneuf du Pape. Wine Advocate has noted that the domaine’s “perfumed and fruit-loaded efforts are made by the Jeune family, with consulting help by Philippe Cambie. The reds here always show solid aromatics and back it up with supple, deliciously textured mouthfeels.”
