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.

Each Chteau de Lacquy vintage is a blend of selected Armagnac of the same year from different grapes and is prepared annually for one year sales. The youngest vintage is 12 years old, the blend of various barrels depends on their respective maturity. These chosen eaux-de-vie are then bottled just before the sale at their natural volume of alcohol. Vintages are therefore absolutely natural and pure, directly coming from the barrel. Each vintage is different from the other and continues to mature as time goes by.
