Château Mourre du Tendre tends 3ha of vines in Châteauneuf-du-Pape in the lieu-dits of Le Crau, La Guigasse and Saintes-Vierges – all sandy terroirs. While primarily Grenache, planted in 1929 and 1945, there is a small portion of Mourvedre that Jacques Paumel added in 1967 to compliment the final blend.

Whole cluster, semi-carbonic maceration and fermentation with indigenous yeasts, 35 day maceration. 30 months in tank then six months in bottle before release.

Blend: 90% Grenache, 10% Mourvèdre
