D'USSÉ VSOP is a bold, full-bodied Cognac naturally aged at least four and a half years and made from a selection of the finest eaux-de-vie, including some matured in the cellars of the Château de Cognac, bottled at 80 proof (40% ABV).
D'USSÉ is crafted at the Château de Cognac, one of the oldest Cognac houses in France, and was co-founded by Shawn "Jay-Z" Carter. Natural aging produces a uniquely powerful Cognac with bold intensity and a pleasantly smooth, balanced finish, distinctively bold yet remarkably smooth. It is presented in the brand's distinctive squat bottle with its signature cross.
A palate-arousing bouquet rich in woody notes is layered with cinnamon and floral touches. The palate is velvety, with spice, almond, dried apricot, vanilla and toasted oak, and a medium-long afterglow of dried fruit and oak.
The iconic cross bottle makes it a stylish gift.
