Entre-Deux-Mers

ENTRE-DEUX-MERS · RIGHT BANK

Entre-Deux-Mers: Entre-Deux-Mers is one of the oldest wine-producing areas in France. The history of winemaking in this area goes back to the Ancient Roman period when the first vines were planted 2000 years ago. But Entre-Deux-Mers earned its reputation as a wine-making region during the middle ages when wine was produced by Benedictine Monks.
The Entre-Deux-Mers is a large region located about 80 km southeast of Bordeaux city. It is seated between the Dordogne and Garonne rivers tributaries of the Garonne estuary. The geographical area of "Entre-Deux-Mers" is much bigger than its wine appellation. So, it is essential to distinguish between them. For example, the appellation doesn't include an area on the eastern bank of the Garonne river. The Entre-Deux-Mers appellation covers 132 communes, starting from Ambarès-et-Lagrave in the very northwest to Lamothe-Landerron in the southeast, and on the boundary with the Lot-et-Garonne administrative departmen
Entre-Deux-Mers accounts for nine AOCs, which are: Entre-Deux-Mers AOC, Premières Côtes de Bordeaux, Sainte-Croix-du-Mont AOC, Cadillac AOC, Loupiac AOC, St-Macaire AOC, Graves de Vayres AOC, and Sainte-Foy-Bordeaux AOC. Entre-Deux-Mers is itself an AOC and the most important one on the list. It was formed in 1937 for the dry white wines produced in Entre-Deux-Mers territory, largely from the Sauvignon Blanc, Sémillon, and Muscadelle grapes.
