Le Bonheur

Stellenbosch

Nestled between the magnificent Simonsberg Mountains and Klapmuts Hill, Le Bonheur is the gateway to South Africa’s most renowned wine producing region Stellenbosch.

With a history dating back to the 1700’s, Le Bonheur Wine Estate epitomises the rich heritage of Stellenbosch. Historically “Le Bonheur” was a resting place for travellers and traders, offering lush green surroundings and natural spring waters.  The original owners of this scenic farm, the French Huguenot De Villiers family, fittingly named it “Le Bonheur”, meaning “happiness”.  Today the Estate retains its sense of place, timeless setting, and rich heritage.

Le Bonheur Chardonnay 2024

A medium-bodied, crisp wine – densely packed with notes of citrus, white peach and a touch of toasted brioche. Elegant notes of citrus blossoms, melon and white peach with a touch of minerality. Medium-bodied, with a crisp acidity. Generous citrus fruit is supported by a touch of oak. The Le Bonheur Chardonnay is known for its retained power and elegant balance, with deft use of oak. The ideal pairing for grilled fish, shellfish or chicken.

Le Bonheur Merlot 2021

Elevation, old vineyards and very special soils have all contributed to Le Bonheur’s reputation as a leader of Stellenbosch Merlot and Merlot-based blends. The Le Bonheur Merlot is smooth, elegant and delightfully pleasing. Elegant notes of ripe cherries, blackcurrant and cedarwood, with subtle hints of potpourri and dark chocolate. Medium-bodied with supple and fine tannins. This pleasingly smooth red wine presents generous fruit, silky texture and a fine balance. Enjoy with Spaghetti Bolognese, and a grilled lamb rump.

Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

A wine that balances the boldness and power of Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon, with refined elegance from a cooler, elevated site. Rich layers of ripe mulberries, black cherries and cedar wood. Grand and hedonistic. Enjoy with a medium-rare lamb rump, with roasted root vegetables.
