history
Château de Millet is located in Eauze, in the Gers region of Gascony, at the heart of Armagnac. Originally devoted to mixed farming and Armagnac production, the estate now dedicates 80 hectares of vineyards to the production of Côtes de Gascogne wines under the "Domaine de Millet" label. Owners Francis and Lydie Dèche, following in the footsteps of the five previous generations, are committed to a policy of quality: traditional grape varieties, sustainable vineyard practices, and continuous innovation in vinification methods. Joined by their daughter Laurence in 1999, they offer a delicious and varied range of wines just waiting to be discovered.
Vineyard
The Domaine de Millet is just situated outside the town of Eauze in the Gers. The vines enjoy a north westerly position on the green hills where the soil alternates between clay limestone and the sandy soils known as 'sables fauves".
Winemaking
All of our Armagnac are produced exclusively from our vines of Baco grapes, harvested, vinified and distilled at Château de Millet in the Bas-Armagnac region, land of the best armagnacs. Minimum 10 years ageing, the year mentionned on the label corresponds to the year of harvest.
Tasting notes
Elegant Nose that is lively with notes of the fresh fruits of plum or fig. Very well balanced attack with fine tannins and very mellow, leading to a complex and fresh finish.
Food pairing
As soon as they are out of the still, the brandies are put in 400 liter local white oak barrels for a slow aging. Each vintage remains in barrel until they are bottled on the date shown on the label.
Aging potential
The gift par excellence for someone or for yourself.
