Description
Hardy VSOP Tradition Fine Champagne Cognac
This well-balanced expression is classed as Fine Champagne, meaning that the eaux-de-vie used are all from the Grande or Petite Champagne areas with at least 51% sourced from the Premier Cru. Hardy VSOP Tradition Fine Champagne Cognac is intended to put the quintessential Hardy style within the reach of every consumer, showing their characteristically balanced and alluring style at a great price. Aged for over four years in French oak, this blend shows a depth of flavor beyond its years. Outstanding value for money.
The English wine and spirits merchant Anthony Hardy made the decision to establish himself as a Cognac trader as far back as 1863. He changed his name to the more French-sounding Antoine and set up business as a distiller and dealer of Cognac. Within only a few years he was being recognized for the quality of his products and built up a strong supply of eaux-de-vie; lucky indeed, as the phylloxera epidemic was soon to take hold. Hardy came out on the other side and expanded into an international network of distributors.
In the 21st Century, the House of Hardy is appropriately run by two women - Bénédicte and Sophie Hardy - who continue to promote their family brand across North America and Europe.
