The appellation Entre-Deux-Mers is reserved for the white wines produced in the enormous triangle of land that lies between the Dordogne and Garonne Rivers (so what if Entre-Deux-Mers actually means between two seas!) and is typically produced with Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon grapes with often a touch of Muscadelle.

Château Bois-Malot, located in Saint Loubes and situated on the shoreline of the Dordogne River, produces Entre-Deux-Mers from 2 hectares of vineyards from vines with an average age of 15 years. The soils are clay and light limestone with a subsoil of red pebbles and clay.

Using both Sauvignon Blanc and Sauvignon Gris (55% in total), blended with 45% Sémillon, the fermentation of the juice is carried out at low temperature to preserve freshness of the fruit. Before the onset of the fermentation, about 40% of the juice is macerated in presence of the skins to increase the body of the wine.

A further 3 month ageing in stainless steel vats “sur lies fines” (on the fine lees or sediment) increases the complexity of the wine.

This wine is floral and has a body not often found in white Bordeaux wines. It makes a great white sipping wine and goes well with salads, picnic fare and fish & poultry.
