MILLET ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1980 POT GASCON 250 cl
- Ageing Vintage 1980, single-harvest eau-de-vie, aged in oak casks on the estate
- Cask French oak casks, aged in the chai at Château de Millet until bottling
- Grape varieties Baco and Ugni Blanc
The pot gascon of 250 cl is the largest format produced by Château de Millet. This decanter holds the single 1980 harvest, distilled on the estate in a continuous armagnacais still, then aged in cask in the family chai.

A wax seal closes a decanter bottled at 42% vol., presented in a wooden gift box.
