Entre-Deux-Mers
Also known as: white Entre-Deux-Mers
Bordeaux's great dry white appellation, produced between the Garonne and Dordogne rivers, with characteristic minerality and freshness.
Entre-Deux-Mers is where Bordeaux becomes approachable in white. Its clay soils and oceanic influence produce mineral, fresh Sauvignon Blanc and elegant Sémillon. It is the white Bordeaux for drinking, not collecting.
