history
Château de Millet is located in Eauze, in the Gers, in Gascony and in the heart of Armagnac. Initially devoted to mixed farming and Armagnac production, the estate now reserves 80 hectares of vines for the production of Côtes de Gascogne "Domaine de Millet" wines. 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. With their daughter Laurence, who joined them in 1999, they market a tasty and varied range wines that are just waiting to be discovered.
Vineyard
Floc de Gascogne (lou floc = bouquet of flowers in Gascony), is made from fresh grape juice and Armagnac. Developed in the XVIth Century, this liquor wine has been only recognized as an AOC since 1990. Château de Millet Floc is one of the Pioneer of the Floc de Gascogne and has been rewarded many times since.
Winemaking
This Floc is produced exclusively from their own vines of Colombard and Gros Manseng grapes, harvested, vinified at Château de Millet. During the harvest, fresh grapes juices and young Armagnac (1/3 and 2/3) are mixed in a stainless-steel vat, hermetically protected from the harmful effects of oxygen. Before being bottled, the blend rests in the vats until the end of winter with temperature control.
Tasting notes
