92 Points – Jeb Dunnuck (jebdunnuck.com):
"A little gem of a wine offering loads of sweet kirsch and darker berry fruits... wonderful purity and a great finish."
Winemaker's Background:
Jean-Louis Chave represents the latest generation in a Rhône winemaking lineage that dates back to 1481. In addition to his acclaimed Hermitage wines, Chave launched the 'Sélection' label in 1995 to produce high-quality, approachable bottlings from trusted growers across the region. 'Mon Coeur' is one such standout, crafted with the same care as his domaine wines, it reflects Chave’s deep commitment to Rhône terroir and accessibility. This bottling draws from fruit grown in the southernmost reaches of the Rhône Valley, offering generous fruit character grounded in elegance.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve slightly below room temperature, ideally between 60–65°F. This wine’s supple richness and earthy complexity make it a natural match for seasonal fare like wild mushroom risotto, braised beef cheeks, cassoulet, or pheasant. It also pairs beautifully with hearty vegetable stews or rosemary-roasted lamb. Allowing it to breathe for 30 minutes before serving will enhance its aromatic depth.
The 2022 Mon Coeur is a testament to Jean-Louis Chave’s vision: a soulful, seamless Rhône red that offers both immediate pleasure and the structure for graceful aging. A refined yet generous companion to cooler evenings and rich cuisine.

Domaine Jean-Louis Chave
With roots reaching back to 1481, the Chave family has cultivated some of the finest vineyards in the Northern Rhône. Initially gaining fame for their exceptional Hermitage wines, the family expanded into the Saint-Joseph region during the phylloxera crisis of the mid-1800s. Today, under the leadership of Jean-Louis Chave, the estate continues its commitment to excellence, blending tradition with forward-thinking viticulture.
