Château de Millet Bas-Armagnac 1976 is an exceptional eau-de-vie, produced by the Dèche family in the heart of the Bas-Armagnac region in the Gers. This vintage reflects the ancestral know-how of the house, which makes its Armagnacs exclusively from grapes grown, vinified and distilled on site. 

Tasting profile

    - Colour: Deep amber, reflecting its prolonged ageing in oak casks.

    - Nose: Open and elegant, revealing aromas of candied fruit, figs and plums, accompanied by spicy notes.

    - Palate: Full and round on the palate, with a fine tannic structure. Ripe fruit flavours blend harmoniously with woody and spicy nuances.

Tasting and pairings

This Bas-Armagnac is best enjoyed neat, at room temperature, to fully appreciate its aromatic richness. It can also be served as an after-dinner drink after a hearty meal. Its strong character makes it an ideal companion for refined dishes such as mature cheeses, grilled meats or dark chocolate desserts.
