MILLET ARMAGNAC VINTAGE 1999 POT GASCON 250 cl

Ageing 1999 vintage, single-harvest eau-de-vie, aged in oak casks at the estate
Cask French oak casks, aged in the Château de Millet cellar until bottling
Grape varieties Baco and Ugni Blanc

The pot gascon of 250 cl is the format Gascons bring out for the celebrations that matter. This one holds the 1999 harvest from Château de Millet, an eau-de-vie from a single year, continuously distilled in an Armagnac-style alembic and then aged in cask at the Eauze cellar.
