The bold, yet remarkably smooth character of D'USSÉ Cognac was founded by Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter and conceived by the senior-most cellar master working today, Michel Casavecchia. One of the world's greatest authorities on Cognac, he has been curating spirits for more than 20 years at the prestigious Château de Cognac. This 200-year-old venue — one of the oldest Cognac houses in France — is where Casavecchia created D'USSÉ.
