The Hardy Noces de Perle Grande Champagne Cognac is a prestigious blend of ten different Cognacs from the Grande Champagne cru. Made from a combination of Ugni Blanc and Colombard grapes, this exceptional cognac is distilled with lees in traditional alembics of 25 hectoliters, which enhances its rich and full character. The Cognac is matured in both damp and dry cellars, using medium-plus toasted Tonnellerie Cognacaise barrels with coarse-grained oak. Each eau-de-vie in the blend has been aged for at least 30 years, some for 50, 60 years or more, offering a remarkable journey through time with every sip. Completely natural in color, without additives, this Cognac represents the best of Hardy's expertise and commitment to quality. The complexity of the blend is balanced with finesse and elegance, making it a true choice for connoisseurs. Anecdotally, this is the favorite Cognac of Hardy's maître de chai, Michael Bouilly, which further underlines its exceptional character. Founded in 1863, the House of Hardy is now led by its fifth generation, who continue their legacy as négociant-éleveurs with an unwavering commitment to excellence.
