As a VSOP, it's legally aged a minimum of four years, blended from eaux-de-vie that lean toward a bolder, spicier profile than some of the more delicate traditional VSOPs — dried fruit, vanilla, and real oak spice. It's become one of the fastest-growing Cognac brands in the US on the strength of that cultural association plus a genuinely solid, if straightforward, VSOP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to drink D'USSÉ VSOP\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it neat or over ice — it's built to be enjoyed either way, unlike some older-school Cognacs that insist on a snifter.
