D'usse Explained

D’Ussé
Type:Private
Industry:Beverage

D’Ussé is a brand of cognac made at the Château du Cognac in Cognac, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, France.[1] It is a subsidiary of Bacardi.[2] D’Ussé produces just two cognacs: D’USSÉ VSOP and D’USSÉ XO. D’Ussé VSOP is aged at least four and a half years in the Château de Cognac cellars.[3] D'USSÉ Cognac was founded by Sovereign Brands and conceived by the senior-most cellar master working today, Michel Casavecchia. (Düsse was later sold to Bacardi and Jay-Z. Sovereign Brands still owns 1/3 of the brand.) D'usse is manufactured at the Château du Cognac. This 200-year-old venue — one of the oldest Cognac houses in France — is where Casavecchia created D'USSÉ.[4]
