Domaine du Grand Tinel

Producer description of "Domaine du Grand Tinel"

The winery is located in the municipality of Châteauneuf du Pape Cedex in the French region of Rhône. The origins of the estate date back to 1770 during the reign of King Louis XV (1710-1774), when François Establet acquired a plot of land in Châteauneuf Calcernier. His descendant Alexis Establet bought vineyards in the Escaïrons district in 1836 and his son Georges invested in the commune of La Gardiole, the current centrepiece of the estate. The Moulin de l'Arbre, a historic flour mill in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, is also a landmark of the Domaine du Grand Tinel. It began producing and trading wine from what was then known as "La petite Gardiol".

Domaine du Grand Tinel - Gebäude

In 1958, the "Saint-Paul" estate in the south of the appellation was acquired. The subsequent owner, Lucien Jeune, was mayor of the town from 1944 to 1965 and became known worldwide in 1954 thanks to an unusual decree he issued. This prohibited flying saucers from flying, stationing or landing in Châteauneuf-du-Pape. In the 1960s, the marriage between Christiane Establet and Jean-Pierre Elie Jeune sealed the alliance between the two owner families. The vineyards were merged in 1972 and the Domaine du Grand Tinel was created. Today, the business is run by Béatrice, Isabelle and Christophe Jeune.
