MILLET ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1997

• Ageing 1997 vintage, single-harvest eau-de-vie, aged in oak casks on the estate
• Cask French oak casks, aged in the cellars of Château de Millet until bottling
• Grape varieties Baco and Ugni Blanc, the classic Bas-Armagnac grape varieties grown on the estate's sandy soils (sables fauves) in Eauze

This 1997 vintage Bas-Armagnac from Château de Millet, presented in a 70 cl bottle, is an eau-de-vie from a single harvest year, vinified and distilled on the estate by the Dèche family, owner-growers in Eauze for five generations. This vintage appears on the domaine's 2026 price list, though the house does not publish tasting notes for every year: we do not invent them. It reflects the same expertise as the commented vintages, reduced to 42% vol. and aged in oak casks. The vineyard is managed using sustainable farming practices, certified Haute Valeur Environnementale at level 3. Each vintage is available in 20 cl, 50 cl, 70 cl, magnum and the traditional 2.5 l pot gascon, with a wooden gift box as an option.

How it is made

Vinified and distilled on the estate using a traditional Armagnac alembic, then aged in oak casks. An artisanal production of notable quality. For five generations, the Dèche family, owner-growers, have been distilling Armagnac from their own vines, earning regular acclaim from specialist press both in France and abroad.
