This Bas-Armagnac vintage 1987 from Château de Millet, presented in a 250 cl pot gascon, is a single-harvest eau-de-vie, vinified and distilled at the estate by the Dèche family, owner-growers in Eauze for five generations.

How it is made

Vinified and distilled on the estate using a traditional Armagnac still, then aged in oak casks. A craft production of genuine quality. For five generations, the Dèche family, grower-producers, have been distilling Armagnac from their own vineyards, regularly recognised by the specialist press both in France and abroad.

The vineyard stands on the rolling green hills to the north-west of Eauze, the capital of Armagnac, where sandy-clay soils and the light, sandy soils known as "sables fauves" alternate across the landscape. This distinctive terroir of the Bas-Armagnac zone is celebrated for producing delicate, fruit-forward eaux-de-vie.
