Gold medal at the IWSC London 2020

Château de Lacquy 是一個佔地400公頃的家族葡萄園，當中的20公頃位於法國西南部Gascony的Armagnac最佳地區。酒莊和建築物由1711年開始，都由同一家族擁有，十八世紀的報章報道已證明，當時酒莊已利用由自家蒸餾機出產雅文邑 (Armagnac)。至今300年歷史共11個世代，這家族可說是最古老的雅文邑生產商。

Château de Lacquy 位於「金三角」的中心地帶，又稱為 Grand Bas-Armagnac。酒莊在湖泊旁邊，在歐洲最大的森林邊緣，有茂密樹林包圍。古橡樹、櫸木、榛子樹、野莓樹等，提供充足遮擋，也是多種野生動物的棲息地。20公頃的葡萄樹就種在這地域中心地帶。
