Hardy Le Printemps 1863
The House Hardy was created thanks to a British gentleman, Anthony Hardy. As a good professional of wines and spirits, he escaped regularly from London to check the quality of vineyards of Charente. He succumbed to the charm of the region and settled down there. He established the House Hardy in 1863. Big lover of France and French people, he chose to transform his first name into Antoine. He also adopts the cock Gallic as emblem of his House.
In 1880, Anthony Hardy already distributed his brandies in different countries of the globe. In 1891, a golden medal in the exhibition of Saint-Petersburg rewards the ” Cognac of the Alliance ” created in homage to the French-Russian friendship. Little by little, the House Hardy positions and confirms its style.
Inspired by the promise of rebirth and new beginnings, the Hardy Four Seasons Cognac is a wonderful tribute to the turning of the seasons. Hardy Four Seasons Cognac is a series of four seasons. It is an assemblage of small batches of eaux-de-vie that come from the Premier Cru of the region that Hardy preserved at the end of the Second World War, the Grande Champagne. The eaux-de-vie, therefore, predates the phylloxera crisis that struck the region. Its unique geological composition thanks to millions of years of fossilization creates optimal soil conditions for growing grapes.,and the high limestone and chalk content means that the soil benefits from exceptional drainage, alongside optimal sun exposure.
Everything about a Cognac from this house is both elegant and extravagant, and the Hardy Fall Cognac certainly delivers. Cognac Hardy boasts a 150 year history of providing a range of cognacs to the four corners of the globe.
