Tasting notes

The delicious, open-knit 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape (80% Grenache, 18% Syrah and 2% Mourvedre) exhibits sexy kirsch liqueur notes intermixed with notions of roasted Provencal herbs, pepper, smoked meats and forest floor. It is a full-bodied, fat, fleshy Chateauneuf with a serious alcoholic punch. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.

WINERY HISTORY

The Grand Tinel Estate was born in 1972. In 1974, they began the construction of the winery with a capacity of 4.600 hectoliters, on three levels: the basement reserved for the ageing cellar with oak barrels and kegs, the ground floor for the vinification and arrival of the grapes in the cellar, and the first floor for the offices, the oenological laboratory, plus a part of the vinification vats.

WINE MAKING PROCESSES

While the crop is being hand-gathered, a first sorting of botrysed grapes is made on the edge of the vineyard. As soon as the harvest arrives at the wine cellar, a second selection is carried out upon a sorting table. Then the grapes are destemmed, and crushed, before being routed to the thermo regulated tanks where they are going to ferment for 4 to 5 weeks. During the fermentation, we make punchings of the gaps as well as releases in order to respect the specificities and aromas of the grape.
