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 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 5 years in "pièces armagnacaises" barrels.
Tasting notes
Nose of vanilla and toast. the attack in the mouth is clean with a good acidity and fatness. The alcohol is mellow with no aggression, leading to a spicy finish of white fruits like cooked pears; An eau-de-vie with a good length that keeps its notes of fruits and freshness. Frederic lebel, sommelier, Paris.
