How is a great Armagnac made? The sole ingredients are outstanding terroir, vines in perfect health, top-quality, perfectly natural wine, a column still heated over low, slow heat, 420-litre barrels masterfully made from quercus robur (European oak), a properly-ventilated ageing cellar with constant temperature and humidity, sustained attention and lots of patience.
Château de Lacquy has every single one of these ingredients, plus one. It has three centuries of experience in making Armagnac.
