Côtes-du-Rhône "Mon Coeur", Chave - 2022

Item # 11871 750 mL

Jean-Louis Chave sources the fruit for this wine from some of the finest vineyards in the Southern Rhône. The wine is true Chave, but in a different register, more like Châteauneuf than Hermitage, and for a fraction of the price. A strong mineral component comes across without effort on this very fine red. Reserve for a special occasion over braised or grilled gigôt of lamb.

Staff Pick Notes

The Cotes-du-Rhone from Jean Louis Chave might be the best quality for value wine in the entire category. The Chave family has been making wines in the Rhone Valley for literal centuries, primarily up north in Hermitage and St Joseph. The Hermitage wines in particular are some of the best, most sought after (and priciest!) Syrah wines in the world, meant for lengthy aging and ultimately revealing extreme complexity and depth. But what about us mere mortals who don't have years to wait and budgets to bust? Mon Coeur Cotes-du-Rhone! A blend of Grenache and Syrah sourced from vineyards further south in the Rhone, the wine has the classic peppery and savory notes balanced with a red fruited perfume that really punches above its modest price point. Burger night every night.

Glossary

Grenache

The Grenache grape (a.k.a. Grenache Noir) produces relatively pale, fruity red wines that often stop just short of sweetness. Grenache is familiar to most wine drinkers as an ingredient in the blends of the Rhône and Languedoc-Roussillon, where it can add charm to varieties that are a little rougher around the edges. The distinguished Châteauneuf-du-Pape and Gigondas appellations are both characterized by significant percentages of Grenache, while in Tavel and Lirac the grape is used to make...

Rhône

Prestige in the north, value in the south: that’s the quick version of the Rhône story. Southern village appellations produce a dizzying stylistic range of delicious wines, while the prices for northern “trophy” bottles can be dizzyingly high. If you like smoky, leathery, earthy, macho red wines, however, the wines of the northern Rhône are well worth it. Prestigious northern Rhône appellations include Condrieu, Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, and St.-Joseph. In the southern Rhône, look to the village...

Syrah

We'd like to clear this up once and for all: the Shiraz grape is genetically identical to Syrah. Australian winemakers put "Shiraz" on the map (and, many would argue, vice versa), and the term is now used throughout much of the New World. Let it never be said, however, that Shiraz and Syrah are the same thing: the region in which the grape is grown determines much about the flavor of the wine it will produce. Typically, New World Shiraz yields bigger, fruitier wines than the the peppery Syrahs...
