Hardy L'Ete Lalique Cognac Grande Champagne

Short Description

This cognac is a blend of 6 Cognacs that are almost centenary, and exclusively Premier Cru from the Cognac region: Grande Champagne. These cognacs were carefully selected between 1919 and 1940 by Armand Hardy, the third generation from the House’s founders.

The House’s cellar master composed this blend of unique spirits, looking to put forward suave and gourmet flavours, rhythmed by apricot, honey, and cinnamon.

The famous French glassmaker Lalique did the rest by conceiving a radiant crystal carafe with an enchanting fossilized vine. The atmosphere has never felt so vibrant and solar.

Only 400 units for this crystal piece of jewellery.

A house of the Second French Empire under Napoleon III based in Cognac.

It was a British man from London, Anthony Hardy, who founded this house in 1863.

In 1869 in Amsterdam, this house obtained the diploma of excellence for its fine champagne cognac (a blend of Cognac from Grande Champagne 1er cru and small champagne cognac legally classified 2nd cru with a minimum of 50% of Grand Champagne Cognac).

In 1891, in Saint Petersburg, the Hardy house received the gold medal of the alliance in tribute to Franco-Russian friendship.

Today Maison Hardy is managed by a fifth generation.
