Chteau de Lacquy is a 400 hectares estate with vineyard on 20 hectares situated in the best part of Armagnac area in Gascony (South West of France). The estate and the mansion have belonged to the same family since 1711. 18th centurys papers show that the estate was already producing Armagnac with its own still. With 300 years and 11 successive generations, the estate is the oldest family-owned producer of Armagnac.

Chteau de Lacquy is the heart of this ‘gold triangle’ known as Grand Bas-Armagnac. The estate comprises vast wooded area and lakes at the edge of Europe’s largest forest. Ancient oaks, beeches, chestnut trees, wild cherry trees, provide shelter for equally abundant and varied wildlife. The 20ha of vines are planted in the very heart of this area.

Chteau de Lacquy XO is a blend of different years and grapes chosen for their individual qualities, all of them having spent most of their time in new barrels. This blend is completely natural armagnacs, reveals rich endless aromas that only great and pure armagnacs can obtain.

This pretigious blend reflects the characteristics of Lacquy’s very special terroir which always gave very sweet and feminine brandies.
