The Château de Lacquy estate is located in Gascony, about 110 km south of Bordeaux, in the Landes part of the ‘Bas-Armagnac’ appellation. Since the Middle Ages, the estate has maintained its territorial dominion, passing through the hands of several great Gascon families, including the Mesmes family until 1668, then the Pontac family (owner of Château Haut-Brion) until 1711. Since that year owned by the Comte de Boisséson family, Lacquy is today the oldest domaine in Bas Armagnac and covers some 400 hectares, 25 of which are planted with vines. The main grape varieties are Baco 22A, which allows long ageing, Colombard, which imparts ripe fruit aromas, and Folle Blanche, a legendary traditional grape variety. The Château de Lacquy is one of the five founders of the ‘Crus Légendaires en Bas Armagnac’ where a ‘quality charter’ defines the quality process to obtain a high-quality Bas Armagnac. Gilles and Veronique continue the tradition of excellence by carrying out the entire Armagnac production process on site, from the cultivation of the vines to the production of the wine, distillation, ageing and bottling, according to dictates dating back three hundred years.
