  • 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 domaine's sandy soils at Eauze

This Bas-Armagnac vintage 2004 from Château de Millet, in a 70 cl bottle, is a single-harvest eau-de-vie, 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, but the house does not publish tasting notes for this particular year: we do not invent them.

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.
