Delicious with: Pork, Chicken. Awarded: De Grote Hamersma 7+. When you think of Bordeaux, you might imagine on one hand expensive, elegant wines from châteaus with great reputations, or on the other hand somewhat old-fashioned wines from the old world. There is some truth in both, but it is not quite right. Bordeaux produces delightful wines that are almost priceless, and there are wine estates that ride the success of the top and ask too much for simple wines. At Bon Ami, they do neither. Year after year, they make simply good, modern Bordeaux in a fruity, smooth, juicy style. The estate lies in the Entre-deux-Mers, the area between the Dordogne and Garonne.

This area lies in Bordeaux, on the so-called right bank of the Gironde. There, the wines are mostly made from merlot. This differs from most wines from the Médoc, on the left bank, where cabernet sauvignon dominates. The merlot in this wine gives it a friendly touch. It tastes full, rich, and robust, yet remains pleasantly smooth. Because of this, you can combine it with many dishes and also enjoy it simply with a sharp cheese.","brand":"Albert Heijn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119276572971,"sku":"711285","price":36.15,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/0479\/3387\/files\/AHI_43545239383631303735_67c7fda8-08ad-4fe2-9f8a-2bac221c9206.jpg?v=1755614151"},{"product_id":"chateau-juguet-saint-emillion-grand-cru","title":"Château Juguet Saint-Émilion great growth","description":"Delightful with meat and with the new vegetable kitchen.

It is owned by the Moueix family, who also own the famous winery Pétrus. The vines are on average 25 years old. The wine has matured for 12 months in barrique, a new oak barrel. One year of barrel aging is enough to make the wine softer and rounder, and also short enough to preserve the fresh fruitiness. Château Juguet is a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru. The wine region has various classifications from Premier Grand Cru to the ‘ordinary’ protected designation of origin, PDO, which was formerly the AOC. Grand Cru is a quality level above this PDO.","brand":"Albert Heijn","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47119278833963,"sku":"393803","price":31.55,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0765\/0479\/3387\/files\/AHI_4354523130313337373730.jpg?v=1755613376"},{"product_id":"chateau-la-marzenac-la-marzenac","title":"Château La Marzenac The Marzenac","description":"\u003cp\u003eSturdy, complex dinner wine that becomes milder when paired with roasted meat and game.
