The second cognac expression from the D’USSÉ portfolio, D’USSÉ XO (SRP $230) is an exquisite ultra-premium blend championing the category. Born from the prestigious Château de Cognac, D’USSÉ XO incorporates over 200 years of tradition with the inspiration of a passionate Cellar Master, Michel Casavecchia. The hand-selected eaux-de-vie used in D’USSÉ XO are aged a minimum of 10 years in French oak casks, and the result is an uncompromising cognac that delivers complex flavor and culminates in an exceptionally balanced finish. D’USSÉ XO starts with a fruity bouquet on the nose, bringing notes of hazelnuts, nutmeg, apricot, orange, wood, and subtle warm spice on the palate – a festive flavor combination perfect for the holidays. A statement wherever it rests, the exceptional bottle design – inspired by the liquid it contains – is both class and modern bearing the Cross of Lorraine: a symbol of honor, courage, and perseverance. The bottle is available at Totalwine.com and additional local retailers nationwide.
D’USSÉ VSOP
D’USSÉ VSOP (SRP $50) is the perfectly balanced blend of selected Cognacs aged at least 4 ½ years in French oak barrels in the prestigious Chateau de Cognac’s unique dry and humid cellars. These natural aging environments are a key factor in delivering the distinctive bold, full-bodied and pleasantly smooth taste of D’USSÉ, resulting in a full-bodied V.S.O.P. blend with a powerful, complex taste and a pleasantly smooth finish. Perfect on its own, on the rocks, or mixed in classics such as the Side Car and Old Fashioned, D’USSÉ VSOP is the ideal base spirit to have on your bar cart while entertaining during the holidays.
