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. This "Hors d'age" is a blend of our best Bas Armagnac aged in oak barrels during 15 to 25 years.
Tasting notes
Beautiful amber colour. Complex nose with notes of dried fruits and prune.Round attack with fatness releasing the suggestion of roasted hazelnuts. Gloriously intense finish to savour.
