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.

2022 The Eagle’s Lair Chardonnay

A medium-bodied, creamy yet crisp wine – densely packed with notes of citrus, white peach and a touch of toasted brioche.

The Manor Meander Merlot 2021

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.

2020 The Manor Meander Merlot

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 Manor Meander Merlot is smooth, elegant and delightfully pleasing.

2021 Weather Blocks Sauvignon Blanc

A classic, complex and well-balanced expression of Sauvignon Blanc, which deftly balanced New-World expressiveness and Old-World elegance. Made from some of Stellenbosch’s highest vineyards, this wine is crisp and refreshing, with delicate notes of green apples, gooseberries and lime.

2021 Le Bonheur Cabernet Sauvignon “The Canaan”

Medium-bodied, grippy tannins and a lingering finish. With deft use of oak and meticulous blending, this wine presents fine balance and excellent ageing potential of up to 10 years. Enjoy with a rack of lamb and happy company.
