Hardy Cognac History
The origin of Hardy Cognac
The story of Hardy Cognac begins in 1863, when the British Anthony Hardy traveled to the Charente and fell in love with the region. Inspired by the French way of life and first-class viticulture, he founded his own Cognac brand. Since then, Hardy has become synonymous with first-class cognac and remains family-owned and run by the fifth generation.
The philosophy behind the brand
Hardy pursues a philosophy of perfection and authenticity. The brand attaches great importance to the use of first-class grapes and careful production. Every step of the production process, from the selection of the grapes to the ageing in oak barrels, is carried out with the utmost care to ensure a product of the highest quality. This is reflected in the complex aromas and rich flavors that characterize Hardy Cognac.
