Production Details The best Cabernet Sauvignon vineyards were selected and vinified separately. The grapes were cooled, with cold extraction taking place before fermentation. Delicate extraction took place in stainless steel tanks, with daily, light pumpovers. Due to small berries and sufficient natural extraction, the winemaking approach at Le Bonheur is soft and delicate, resulting in smooth wines, with ample red fruit and supple tannins. This wine represents a selection of the best Cabernet Sauvignon barrels of the vintage. The final blend was created after 18 months in 300 liter French oak barrels.
