Our Maître de Chai, Michel Casavecchia, meticulously hand-selects the rarest eaux-de-vie — some of which have rested for years in the cellars of the Chateau de Cognac — to craft the unique blend of D’USSÉ XO Cognac. Aged a minimum of ten years, the eaux-de-vie rest in French oak barrels to ensure the utmost complexity and depth in flavor. D’USSÉ XO Cognac delivers rich notes of ripe blackberry and apricot, layered with hints of dark chocolate and walnut, culminating in an exceptionally balanced finish. D’USSÉ XO is best enjoyed neat but can also be the delicious key ingredient in many premium cocktails.
