BORDEAUX - ENTRE-DEUX-MERS

The Entre-Deux-Mers region extends from the Dordogne to the Garonne, opposite the Graves area, from the tip of the Ambès headland to the borders of the Dordogne and of the Lot-et-Garonne. It produces dry, fruity and lively white wines.Literally "between two seas", the region is so-named because it is located between two rivers, the Garonne and the Dordogne. Another unique feature is the region's size : Entre-Deux-Mers is vast. Vineyards are planted up and down its many slopes. The region produces both red and white wines. The soil of Entre-Deux-Mers is especially complex. Along the bank of the two rivers, the composition is mainly alluvial soil ; the inland areas are a mixture of clay, silica and limestone. Like the Médoc and Graves, Entre-Deux-Mers also has a marine climate as well as comparable annual rainfall and temperature.
