D'usse VSOP Cognac 75cl

Product Information

The perfect balance of intense flavours have been patiently evolved and nurtured for at least two decades. On the nose it reveals a powerful bouquet of bright floral notes with rich woody undertones and touches of creamy almond and cinnamon, completed by the subtle accents of honey and sweet dried fruits. As it is a quality cognac we highly recommend that it is served neat at room temperature without ice so you can enjoy the taste.

The result is a stunning Extra Old Cognac that has been left to sleep in French barrels and develop depth and complexity in flavor and aroma.

The silver metallic Cross of Lorraine gives an indication of the extensive history of Cognac blending knowledge at D'USSÉ, and the design is a subtle nod towards the forward-thinking element of the brand.
