The Carafe of the Centuries:

In 2014, to commemorate the tercentenary of the entry of the estate into his family, Gilles de Boisséson composed a rare blend of old Armagnacs from the cellar and cellar of Château de Lacquy.

Since 1711 in Lacquy, through the ups and downs of History (six Kings, two Emperors, five Republics, three revolutions...), Armagnac has continued to be distilled and aged with love for generations to come. You have to have time ahead of you and behind you to produce Armagnac, to assemble what past generations have left and allow what future generations will taste to age.

The quintessence of this long work is housed in this Carafe des Siècles, engraved with the family monogram, and whose case is a box of raw pedunculate oak from the forests of Aquitaine. It is this same oak which is used to make the barrels in which the estate's Armagnacs are aged.

Tasting notes:

This unique blend of Armagnacs distilled between 1800 and 1980 is characterized by its great finesse and voluptuousness on the palate. Without aggressiveness, it exudes aromas of great complexity with floral notes, with hints of spices, vanilla, cocoa and candied fruits. Its length in the mouth is exceptional, leaving lingering aromas of incredible power on the palate at the same time as delicate sweetness.
