The Entre-deux-Mers region is a 5,000 km² hilly landscape in the French département of Gironde. It is located in the south-east of the Bordeaux region between the Garonne and Dordogne rivers. The confluence of these rivers forms the Gironde estuary. The name is not derived from "mer" (sea), but from "marée" (tide). This is because the two rivers that border the wine-growing region are characterised by the tide pushing inland from the Atlantic via the Gironde. To the east of this (beyond the Dordogne), the rive droite area begins with the Saint-Émilion and Pomerol appellations and further north Fronsac.
