2006 Côtes du Rhône, Mon Coeur, J.L. Chave Sélection

Sourced from the very best villages in the Southern Rhône, namely Valréas, Vinsobres and Rasteau, this is a fantastic Côtes Du Rhône , self-evidently punching above its putative weight. This is more than confirmed by the palate; sweet Grenache at the core but with plenty of Syrah colour and grip lending support.The grapes are assessed and blended by Jean Louis Chaves, his aim being to make the finest of all generic Côtes du Rhône.
