Cask French oak casks, aged in the cellars of Château de Millet until bottling
Grape varieties Baco and Ugni Blanc
Awards Gold Medal, Concours de Toulouse 2007

The pot gascon, a rounded 250 cl flagon, is the most Gascon way to preserve a vintage. This one holds the 1981 harvest from the Dèche family, an eau-de-vie with a nose of exotic woods, a full and suave palate, honoured with a gold medal at the 2007 Toulouse competition.

Like all the domain's vintages, it is bottled at 42% vol., and comes with a wooden gift box.
