Historically, the AOP Châteauneuf-du-Pape dates back to the 16th century. The Domaine du Grand Tinel's history began in 1968 with the marriage of Christiane Establet and Pierre Élie Jeune. Today, this Domaine represents 53 hectares of vineyards, with most of the vineyards being very old (about 75 years). These older vines contribute to a greater concentration of aromas and flavors in the wine. Currently, the Estate is managed by their children Isabelle, Béatrice, and Christophe.
