ENTRE DEUX MERS The literal translation of this is"between two seas, but the area hes between the two rivers Dordogne and Garonne. The name is used for the dry white wines of the area except those white wines which are produced in the area of St. Croix du Mont, Loupiac and La Grand Cote de la Rive Droite, which give their names to the sweet white wines of those small districts opposite to that of Sauternes. They are similar to Sauternes wines but have not the character. The red wines of this area are all caUed"Bordeaux except Sainte-Foy-Bordeaux, Graves de Vayres and Premieres Cotes de Bordeaux. COTES These are wines produced on the sloping ground of the area, both red and white. They vary in quantity and quality. . Bourg and Blaye both produce red wines under these names,but are in no way comparable to the classified wines of the Medoc. 177
