Located in the southern Rhône, Domaine du Grand Tinel is a historic Châteauneuf-du-Pape estate farming vineyards across the appellation’s characteristic galets roulés, sand and clay soils. The classic Châteauneuf-du-Pape cuvée is dominated by Grenache supported by Syrah and Mourvèdre from several parcels around the estate. Fermentation takes place in traditional vats followed by ageing in large oak foudres and barrels to preserve fruit while adding structure. The warm 2020 vintage delivered ripe fruit balanced by freshness. Compared with the estate’s more concentrated single-cuvée wines such as Alexis Establet, this bottling offers a broader expression of the appellation, combining red and dark berry fruit, spice and garrigue notes with refined tannins https://www.grandtinel.com
