About the Producer:
An approachable blender’s-select range of Cognacs from Maison Hardy, Maison Rouge pays tribute to the family’s history of storing Cognac in a red-tiled barn in the Charentais town of Roumazières. Here the brandy rested on its way to Saintes, a “paradis” known only to the family where exceptional casks of eaux-de-vie were rumored to rest. Cognac is carefully selected from Hardy’s stocks and blended to pay homage to the family’s multi-generational dedication to fine Cognac.

Tasting Notes:
Awards/Reviews:
"First nosing passes pick up delicate scents of apple, grape and pear. Palate entry is mellow, rounded and mildly spiced; by midpalate, the taste gains in scope as the flavor of the wood underpins the fruitiness. Ends firmly and with an unexpected oiliness that works in its favor." - Wine Enthusiast
