Bordeaux
 

 
 

Entre-Deux-Mers
(between-two-seas)

Entre Deux Mers is not exactly between two seas but actually between two rivers: Dordogne and Garonne.

Entre-Deux-Mers produce a very good dry white wine. Wine makers prefer to keep their best grapes for Entre-Deux-Mers instead of Bordeaux AOC. However because of the compact soil, this is not the best place to grow vines in Bordeaux.
