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。

這是一款單一品種的雅文邑，精緻而富有花香。 Folle blanche的產量僅佔產區的1%，但仍然是雅文邑的葡萄之王，釀造出非常微妙的風味。

Château 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 century’s 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.

Château 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.

This Armagnac is a Folle blanche single varietal armagnac with finesse and floral notes. The folle blanche is scarcely 1 % of the total crop in the Appellation area. But it remains the king of grapes for Armagnac, giving Spirits that have great subtlety.
