Entre-deux-Mers AOC

Naturally bordered by two rivers: the Garonne and the Dordogne.

The soil in this appellation was forged by these two rivers subject to oceanic influence, which throughout the ages have left behind sand, stone and clay beds, which crossed with the older limestone rocks offer incomparable terroir diversity. The vineyard is located on higher lands down cut by several rivers to form slopes. With all kinds of exposure, predominantly clay soil, ideal for white variety vines basked in the mild oceanic climate, vines in the Entre-deuxMers grow in an ideal environment.

Entre-deux-Mers AOC is dry white wine exclusively. • AROMAS: citrus, yellow blossoms and exotic fruit.

In the mouth they are smooth, lively and refreshingly crisp. Entre-deuxMers wines are often made from the blending of three green grape varieties: Sauvignon, Sémillon and Muscadelle.
