Distillation
At Château de Lacquy, distillation is a meticulous art that brings to life the unique essence of each grape variety. From the vinification from October to November, the still, a real treasure dating from 1939, takes over. Made up of 3 tonnes of copper and 90 meters of coil, this continuous heating still, heated with wood, is the ideal companion for shaping Armagnac. Its slow process, distilling 2 to 3 420 liter barrels per day, offers a clear and transparent eau-de-vie, measuring between 52% and 54% alcohol, rich in fruity aromas and devoid of aggressiveness. Each distillation is a unique journey, celebrating the authenticity and singularity of each vintage. The armagnac thus obtained is natural, preserving its character without adding wood or caramel, a real pearl resulting from the wood fire and the know-how of Château de Lacquy.
