El Grand Tinel 2016 es un vino tinto elaborado por el Domaine du Grand Tinel, perteneciente a la familia Jeune-Establet en Châteauneuf-du-Pape. La vinificación cuenta con el asesoramiento de Philippe Cambie y parte de cepas centenarias.

La composición del vino combina predominantemente Grenache (83%), complementada por Syrah, Mourvèdre y Counoise, aunque la nota de The Wine Advocate describe la mezcla para esta añada como un 80% de Grenache y un 20% de Syrah. Las uvas se cosechan manualmente, sometiéndose a un despalillado completo. La crianza se realiza en foudres de roble viejo durante un periodo de 12 a 16 meses. El terreno se caracteriza por la presencia de galets roulés, arenas y arcillas.

En cuanto a su perfil organoléptico, según The Wine Advocate, el vino refleja la generosidad del año con aromas de piedras calentadas por el sol, cerezas negras y frambuesas, sin caer en la sobre-madurez. Se presenta de cuerpo medio a lleno, con taninos sedosos y un final persistente que incorpora matices de hierbas secas y regaliz. Se estima que será apto para el consumo durante una década.

Esta elaboración obtiene una puntuación de 91 puntos por parte de The Wine Advocate.

The 2016 Chateauneuf du Pape is an 80-20 blend of Grenache and Syrah, raised in a mix of different-sized wood and tanks. One the nose, it nicely reflects the sun and generosity of the year, showing hints of sun-warmed stones, black cherries and raspberries, yet never tips over into sur-maturité. It's medium to full-bodied, with silky tannins and a lingering finish that picks up shadings of dried herbs and licorice. It should drink well for a decade.

Alexis Establet bought the first vines in 1846. The house was not called Grand Tinel until 1972: before that it was Petit Gardiole, and before that it went by another name still.

The one that stuck has a nice twist. Tinel was the word used in Italy and the south of France for the refectory, the common dining hall. It comes from late Latin tinellum, and that from tina: vat. The name ends up pointing back to the vessel the wine ferments in.

In the 1960s Elie Jeune married into the family and shaped the winery as it stands. His children Christophe, Béatrice and Isabelle run it today.

Fifty-six hectares of vines in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, on an unusually mixed set of soils — sand, clay, limestone and the galets roulés — with vines over a century old and organic farming.
