This is the name given to the region in Bordeaux that lies between the River Garonne and the River Dordogne. It’s actually not between any “seas” but it gets its name from the days where these Rivers brought in a great deal of trade to the city and at that time anything that came in from the Atlanta ocean was seen as a “sea”.

The interesting thing about this region is that it is not known in Bordeaux for its great wine. In fact, this is kinda the two buck chuck area of the region. These wines are not bad, but are often drank more as aperitifs instead of with grand dinners like many of the other wines from Bordeaux. This area is also facing a lot of trouble right now due to decreasing wine sales. Since their prices are already very low considering costs of production, many are being faced with having to abandon their trade in the face of declining demand and prices.

Anyways, enough about that… just thought I would add some insight…

Cheers!
