ENTRE DEUX MERS
The literal translation of this is "between two seas,"
but the area lies 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 called "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.
n
,
Bourg and Blaye both produce red wines under these
names, but are in no way comparable to the classified wines
of the Medoc.
