Entre-deux-Mers lies in the area between the Dordogne and the Garonne Rivers to the east of Bordeaux and has a reputation for producing white wines that are memorably fresh and complex. The Pommier vineyard covers the highest plateau in the region, further enhancing the crisp and refreshing character of the wine. Cepages : Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Muscadelle, Sauvignon Gris. This combination is dynamite for creating a wine of complexity and interest. About the Producer: For five generations, the Pommier Family has been producing wine on 80 hectares (about 200 acres) of vineyard here. This is an award-winning vineyard long known for its exceptional wines. Madame Pommier is known fondly in the region as Madame Entre-Deux-Mers, largely in recognition of her ability to produce excellent white wines and of her energetic promotion of local wines. They use traditional methods of vinification. Tasting
Notes: Elegance and finesse. The
bouquet shows peach, pear and melon scents along with smoky, citrusy,
floral and herbal nuances. The flavors are zesty and bright with
a minerally-clean freshness that defines good white Bordeaux. The
palate-pleasing peach and melon fruit elements are enhanced by nuances
of pear, herbs and smoky spice. The finish is dry and clean with
an intriguing twist of citrus and spice.
Recommended Food Pairings: Vrai Caillou has both the body and clean, refreshing style to be a great companion wine for seafoods of all sorts. It's also a fine choice to sip on its own, for those moments when you want a glass of crisp, dry white. White meats, Seafood and shellfish, hors d'oeuvres, cheese, salad. Awards: Vintage 2008 took first place at the Entre Deux Mers 2009 Top Wines Contest (March 29th 2009)
