Actually I just did some googling, and some notes show the 2000 Mon Coeur as
80% Grenache/20% Syrah (the 2001 is 50/50). With a Syrah-master like Chave one
might assume Syrah, but unlike the Voge CdR (his young Cornas vines), the Chave
is a negociant wine. And mostly from vineyards in the South owned by his
friends.
