D’USSÉ VSOP Cognac

Description 
Crafted at the historic Château de Cognac, D’USSÉ VSOP is a collaboration between legendary maître de chai Michel Casavecchia and brand founder Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter. Aged in French oak for at least four and up to ten years, the blend pours a brooding amber with golden flashes. Lift the glass and a powerful bouquet of woody spice, cinnamon and floral top-notes greets the nose  Each sip spreads honey, almond and dried fruit across the palate before finishing smooth with a hint of warm baking spice, no burn, just swagger.

At 40 % ABV and housed in a gothic cross-embossed bottle, D’USSÉ VSOP bridges old-world craft and hip-hop culture, appearing in lyrics, music videos and VIP lounges worldwide. Yet it remains more than a status symbol: the cognac’s balanced profile shines in cocktails. Try a “D’USSÉ 75”, VSOP, fresh lemon and sparkling wine for celebrations, or stir it into a Manhattan to cloak sweet vermouth in layers of almond and vanilla.

Unlike some houses, D’USSÉ keeps additives to a minimum; colour and sweetness derive from oak and time. Sustainability efforts at Château de Cognac include biomass boilers and biodiversity corridors along the Charente River, ensuring your sips support greener grapes.
