MILLET ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1977 MAGNUM 150 Cl
- Ageing Vintage 1977, single-harvest eau-de-vie, aged in oak casks at the domaine
- 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 domaine's sandy soils at Eauze
For a class reunion or a family dinner where several guests were born in 1977, the magnum makes every sense.

It then spent its years in oak casks in the Dèche family cellars, until the dated bottling. Sealed in wax and bottled at 42% vol., this 150 cl magnum is presented in a wooden gift box.
