MILLET ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1975

Ageing 1975 vintage, single-harvest eau-de-vie, aged in oak casks at the estate
Cask French oak casks, aged in the cellars of Château de Millet until bottling
Grape varieties Baco and Ugni Blanc, grape varieties of the Bas-Armagnac grown on the sandy soils of the estate in Eauze

The estate presents this 1975 in a deep amber, brilliant and clear. The nose is powerful yet suave: vanilla, spices, rancio. The eau-de-vie is round and supple, and the finish, on liquorice and prunes, lingers beautifully. The Dèche family recommends pairing it with a characterful cigar or a dark chocolate dessert. 1975 is also the year of the Veil law in France. A single harvest, aged in Eauze, presented in a 70 cl bottle at 42% vol. and nestled in a wooden gift box.
