MILLET ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1975 MAGNUM 150 Cl

  • Ageing Vintage 1975, 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

A magnum doubles the classic bottle and changes the atmosphere entirely: it can be served at a large table, and there is always some left for next time. This eau-de-vie from 1975 was distilled at the estate, two years after Francis and Lydie Dèche settled there. It offers a suave nose of vanilla and rancio, a round palate, and a liquorice finish of remarkable length. With a dark chocolate dessert, the house proposes this as the ideal pairing. This 150 cl magnum, sealed in wax, is bottled at 42 % vol. and comes in a wooden gift box.
