MILLET ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1993 POT GASCON 250 cl

  • Ageing Vintage 1993, 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

Round and imposing, the 250 cl pot gascon is the format one chooses for a collection or a very special occasion. This one carries the 1993 vintage from the Dèche family. The eau-de-vie was crafted exclusively from wines grown at Château de Millet, then aged in 400-litre oak casks. The bottling date, noted on the label, tells you exactly how long it spent in wood. Beneath the wax seal, 42% vol.; presented in a wooden gift box.
