Maître de Chai Michel Casavecchia meticulously hand-selects the finest eaux-de-vie from the cellars of the Château de Cognac to craft the unique blend of D'USSÉ™ XO Cognac. His uncompromising standards demand the eaux-de-vie be aged ten years or more in French oak barrels to ensure the utmost complexity and depth in flavor. 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.
