Maitre de Chai Michel Casavecchia meticulously hand-selects the finest eaux-de-vie from the cellars of the Chateau de Cognac to craft the unique blend of D’USSÉ XO Cognac.

D’USSÉ XO Cognac delivers rich flavor notes of ripe blackberry and apricot, layered with hints of dark chocolate and walnut, culminating in an exceptionally balanced finish.
