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. In their 18th century estate, which has always been devoted to the cultivation of the vine, life was once regulated by the sound of the bell, rung to announce meals. Today, as in the past, time at Millet runs to the rhythm of the work in the vineyard.
