Jean-Louis Chave's magnificent négociant-bottling of 'Mon Coeur' Côtes du Rhône hails from parcels of mature rootstock around Vinsobres and Cairanne.

Based on equal parts Syrah and Grenache brought up in used oak, the 2022 Côtes du Rhône Mon Coeur is a little gem of a wine offering loads of sweet kirsch and darker berry fruits as well as some peppery Provençal herb and spice-driven aromas and flavors. It's medium to full-bodied, has wonderful purity, and a great finish.
