Chateauneuf de Pape Domaine du Grand Tinel 75cl
£35.00
The Domaine du Grand Tinel is a large estate of 55 hectares of Chateauneuf du Pape vineyard. The estate is owned by Eli Jeune and family, based in the town of Chateauneuf du Pape. The vineyards are dominated by the rolled pebbles (locally known as `Galets`) of the southern Rhone floodplain. These were deposited when the Rhone was a torrent, bringing fragment of rock down from the Alps. The estate makes traditional wine, rich and robust with the aromas of Provencal herbs.
This famous wine is produced from 50 year old vines grown on the pebble strewn slopes surrounding the village of Châteauneuf du Pape, an area with a rich and long history of vine culivation back to 1308. Traditional Châteauneuf, like Tinel, is predominantly blended from Grenache with Syrah, with the minor addition of up to 12 other varieties including Counoise and Mourvèdre.
