Le Bonheur | Chardonnay | 2022
Le Bonheur's Chardonnay vineyards are planted on the higher slopes of Klapmutskop and benefit from cooler afternoons. This is due to the shadow of Klapmutskop, which results in cool and moderate ripening conditions.
Nose & palate
On the nose, elegant notes of citrus blossoms, melon and white peach with a touch of minerality. Medium-bodied, with a crisp acidity on the palate, with generous citrus fruit, supported by a touch of oak.
Pairing
Perfect for a light mixed grill of fish, shellfish, and chicken.
About Le Bonheur
Led by winemaker William Wilkinson, Le Bonheur expresses the deep heritage of South African winemaking from four main soil types across a variety of aspects and slopes of Klapmuts Hill, with some of the oldest Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, and Cabernet Sauvignon plantings in Stellenbosch.
Named by its French Huguenot owners in the 1700s, Le Bonheur translates to “happiniess,” and we think you’ll feel the same when drinking these authentic, full bodied, and classically-style wines.
