J.L. Chave Sélection's Mon Coeur is Jean-Louis Chave's expression of the northern Rhône writ large. This cuvée captures the energy and balance that define his celebrated Hermitage and Saint-Joseph wines. Grapes are sourced from trusted growers across Vinsobres, Cairanne, Rasteau and other well-sited northern enclaves, then blended and matured under Chave's direction in the family's cellars in Mauves..

Fermentation takes place in concrete, followed by élevage in used oak barrels that once held his estate wines, a subtle influence that brings polish and structure without overt oak flavour.

Every vintage of Mon Coeur offers a clear line of dark berry fruit, pepper and garrigue on the nose, with a palate that shows drive, supple tannins and a savoury, mineral finish. It is a Rhône red made with precision and authenticity, the sort of wine that quietly outperforms its humble appellation year after year.
