Chateau de Millet "VSOP" 5 Ans d'Age Bas Armagnac

750ml bottle

42% abv

Château de Millet VSOP is aged for 5 years, the while slowly brought down to 42% before being blended and bottled. On the nose, there is fresh citrus oil, light vanilla, and floral notes. A bit of young spirit driven spice comes out on the palate, alongside delicate peach and pear, a slight acidity, and wet stone.

Château de Millet is located in Eauze, in the Gers, in Gascony and in the heart of Armagnac. Francis and Lydie Dèche, owners, follow in the footsteps of the previous five generations by committing themselves to a policy of quality: traditional grape varieties, rational cultivation of the vineyard and constant evolution in the
methods and means of vinification.

All Château de Millet Armagnacs are produced exclusively from their own vines of Baco and Ugni Blanc grapes, harvested, vinified and distilled on site. The vines enjoy a north westerly position on the green hills where the soil alternates between clay limestone and the sandy soils known as 'sables fauves'. This specific soil from the Bas-Armagnac area is renowned for its delicate and fruity brandies. The full vineyard is 220 acres, with 25 acres devoted to Armagnac and just under 200 acres of vines for the production of Côtes de Gascogne wines.
