Entre-Deux-Mers is one of the most exciting sub-regions in Bordeaux today. Producers are starting to respect the potential of their terroirs, which has in turn elevated the quality of the wines significantly in the last decade.
One of the leading estates, Château Sainte-Marie, works organically in some of the highest hilltops in the entire Bordeaux region. They are south-facing, making it relatively easy to obtain optimum ripeness, which is not always a given in Entre-Deux-Mers.
