Based in Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the southern Rhône, Domaine du Grand Tinel cultivates Grenache-dominant vineyards planted on galets roulés and clay soils typical of the appellation. The classic cuvée blends Grenache with Syrah and Mourvèdre harvested from several estate parcels. Fermentation takes place in traditional vats followed by ageing in large oak foudres and barrels. The cooler 2021 vintage emphasised freshness and balance. Compared with the warmer 2020 vintage, the wine shows slightly greater precision, combining red berry fruit, pepper and herbal garrigue notes with refined tannins. The magnum format allows slower maturation and extended ageing potential. https://www.grandtinel.com
