Chateau de Millet - The Deche family
Our Wines > Our Wine Makers > Chateau de Millet - The Deche family
|
Francis and his daughter Laurence Deche run Chateau de Millet deep in Armagnac country. Their Cotes de Gascogne white and red wines are light and fresh, very well made and perfect summers day wines. Recent additions include two Gold Medal winning wines, a Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc Chardonnay blend. The 5 year old and vintage Armagnacs are all excellent. If you are passing by, Francis will show you his Armagnac cellar and conduct a personal tasting from barrels of older vintages. There is also a wine shop and Pigeonnier gite (which I can persoanlly recommend - great vineyard views!) at the Chateau. |
