Chateau de Millet VS Armagnac
Chateau de Millet VS Armagnac is an 84-proof (42% ABV) young Bas-Armagnac from the Dèche family's estate in Eauze, Gers — aged just 2 years in local white oak, light amber in the glass, and made for the cocktail shaker as much as the snifter. Single-distilled, estate-grown, with no sugar or color added: this is what Armagnac tastes like before the decades take over. Order this 750mL bottle online at Del Mesa Liquor, San Diego, CA.

Young Armagnac, Big Personality
Two years in oak gives this Armagnac a light amber color and a sharply focused vanilla character from the new cask, but the fruit is what leads — a fine, bright bouquet that tastes unmistakably of Gascony. It's the Dèche family's entry to the range and the most cocktail-friendly age statement in the house. See the full flight in our Armagnac collection or the Chateau de Millet range.
Tasting Notes
Fruity notes and sharply focused vanilla from the new cask. Light amber color, bright and direct on the palate, with the single-distilled Armagnac character — bolder and more aromatic than its Cognac cousins.
How to Enjoy
Mix it: a VS Armagnac at this price and proof is built for cocktails — Sidecars, Sazerac riffs, or a simple long pour with ginger ale. Also rewarding neat for drinkers who like their brandy youthful and lively.
