Château de Lacquy
History and Terroir
Founded in 1711 and still family-owned after ten generations, Château de Lacquy is the oldest Armagnac-producing estate under continuous family stewardship. Nestled in the heart of the Grand Bas Armagnac, the property spans 400 hectares, with a 25-hectare vineyard that has remained on the same plots for over three centuries. This heritage estate has mastered the art of crafting timeless eaux-de-vie while embracing a resolutely modern approach to its range—including single casks, natural strength bottlings, and limited editions. Every bottle tells the story of purity, tradition, and place.
Farming and Winemaking
Château de Lacquy oversees every stage of production, from sustainable viticulture to bottling. The vineyards are planted to traditional grape varieties—Folle Blanche, Baco, and Colombard—all harvested and vinified separately. Distillation takes place in a traditional wood-fired still, and ageing occurs in 400-liter pedunculate oak barrels, 40–50% of which are renewed annually. No additives are used—no sugars, wood flavorings, or caramel—ensuring the Armagnacs remain entirely natural. The result is a collection of bespoke, long-aged spirits of exceptional finesse, stored in a historic 19th-century cellar and released only when perfectly matured.
