Cognacs made with organically grown grapes are incredibly rare, and this bottling from Hardy was made with grapes from small, carefully selected vineyards. This VSOP is soft, elegant and aromatic, with the emphasis on fruit, not spice. ### Product Description Maison Hardy owes its name to an authentic English gentleman, Anthony Hardy. Like any conscientious wine and spirit merchant, Hardy liked to get out of London as often as he could and head down to Charente to check on the progress of the finest Cognac crus. He finally succumbed to the region’s charms in 1863, relocating permanently and founding Maison Hardy. As a mark of his great affection for France and the French, he went so far as to adopt the Gallic form of his Christian name, henceforth being known as Antoine Hardy. He also adopted the iconic French cockerel as the emblem of his new company. Tasting Notes Soft, elegant and aromatic
