Vineyard
At Millet, the land and the relief tell a story of history of man . The ruins of pre-Roman oppidum, the currencies and the amphoras discovered near to the vineyard are witnesses of the past.
Before building the town of Elusa (1st century), known today as Eauze, the elusate people learnt how to cultivate vines and appreciate wines from Romans.
Winemaking
The 2 grape varieties are vinified separatly and blended together and kept in a tank. for 6 months.
Tasting notes
This vine is very original in style with multiple nuances that merge to give a surprising floral and spicy flavour. White mid dry wine, light in colour with golden yellow highlights. Intense and seductive bouquet with a concentration in floral notes, exotic fruits and soft spice. Fresh gourmand taste. This wine expresses itself powerfully, revealing a contrasting complexity that comes from the union of the perfectly balanced Chardonnay and Sauvignon. A full flavoured finish.
Food pairing
Serve at 10-11°C on its own as an aperitif or with a meal: foie gras or exotic and spicy dishes.
