history
Château de Millet is located in Eauze, in the Gers, in Gascony and in the heart of Armagnac.
Initially devoted to mixed farming and Armagnac production, the estate now reserves 80 hectares of vines for the production of Côtes de Gascogne "Domaine de Millet" wines.
Francis and Lydie Dèche, owners, follow in the footsteps of the previous five generations by committing themselves to a policy of quality: traditional grape varieties, rational cultivation of the vineyard and constant evolution in the
methods and means of vinification.
With their daughter Laurence, who joined them in 1999, they market a tasty and varied range wines that are 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 our Armagnacs are produced exclusively from our vines of Baco grapes, harvested, vinified and distilled at Chateau Millet in the Bas Armagnac region, land of the best Armagnac. Aged for 2 years in "pièces armagnacaises" barrels.
Tasting notes
This young Armagnac has a light amber color. The nose reveals afine bouquet with fruity notes and sharply focused vanilla smell of new cask.
