LaRoche-Vacquié Vintage Haut Armagnac 1992 Wood Box

LaRoche-Vacquié is the only Haut-Armagnac house with vintages reaching back to 1991, and this 1992 is among its oldest. The estate overlooks the historic town of Lectoure in Gascony, in a sub-region that produces about 1% of all Armagnac; Bruno and Sylvie Compagnon bought the property in 1986 when it was a prune and apple farm, replanted vineyards from 1990 and eventually converted the whole 25 hectares back to vines on limestone and clay soils. Farming has been organic since 2008, with almost no outside inputs, and a solar farm installed in 2011 gives the estate full energy autonomy. The vintage range is made from estate Ugni Blanc and Colombard, single distilled, aged in a single sessile oak cask and bottled at cask strength without filtration; each bottle is hand-sealed, dated and numbered. The 1992 spent 34 years in sessile oak before bottling at 44.2% ABV, with just 48 bottles released, and arrives in a wooden presentation box. The producer describes Jamaican rum-like nuances, toasted nuts, dried fruit, caramel, delicate tea, warm spices and precious woods. The house was named Best Armagnac at Fest'Armagnac 2026.
