Production Details Grapes were harvested by hand at 23.8° Balling in mid-February with yields averaging 10 tons per hectare. Each vineyard was individually vinified. Once the grapes had been crushed, the mash was cooled and fermentation took place between 12°C and 14°C over two weeks. There was no skin contact. The wine was left on the lees for six months to concentrate the flavours. A dry and relatively cool vintage at Le Bonheur. The higher altitude vineyards specifically produced grapes with typical Sauvignon Blanc notes of green figs and hints of cut green grass.
