D'Usse VSOP Cognac 200ml

D'Ussé VSOP in the 200ml format offers a perfect introduction to this modern luxury cognac brand. The smaller size makes it ideal for gifting, travel, or those wanting to explore premium cognac without committing to a full bottle. Despite the compact format, this expression maintains all the quality and sophistication that defines D'Ussé, backed by the expertise of Château de Cognac's two centuries of tradition.

The blend focuses on eaux-de-vie from Grande and Petite Champagne, aged in carefully selected French oak. Even in this smaller format, the distinctive Cross of Lorraine bottle design makes a statement. The cognac itself shows rich amber color with golden highlights, promising the quality within. The nose reveals honey, dried apricots, and warm spices, with subtle floral notes adding complexity. The Grande Champagne influence is evident in the elegant structure.

On the palate, D'Ussé VSOP delivers impressive smoothness and balance. The texture is round and well-integrated, carrying flavors of honey, stone fruits, and gentle oak. Despite the VSOP classification, this drinks like a much older cognac, showing the quality of selection and blending. The finish is clean and warming, with cinnamon and dried fruit notes lingering pleasantly. This 200ml size is perfect for those curious about premium cognac or as a luxurious gift that doesn't overwhelm. It proves that D'Ussé's modern approach to traditional cognac-making scales beautifully to any format.
