Always found Grand Tinel an excellent value. The Domaine's other wines, too:
they used to sell a declassified CdP as table wine that vied with most of the AOC
production of the day. It was a terrific deal at the equivalent of under $2 US! We
used to order scads of cases, anyone who tasted was immediately down for a case
or 3.

Further the family has always been very charming and welcoming.

I understand young Jeune has started commercializing another domaine,
Domaine de Saint Paul. Appears to be a couple of kopecks more expensive
than Grand Tinel. Has anyone tasted?
