A barrel of cognac typically yields 250–350 bottles after 50+ years of angel's share attrition. The entire production of this release came from that single barrel with no blending from other casks.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the connection between D'USSÉ and Château de Cognac?\u003c\/strong\u003e D'USSÉ Cognac is produced at Château de Cognac — a historic estate dating to the 13th century in the town of Cognac, France. The château is the birthplace of King François I and one of the oldest continuously used cognac production sites in the region. Jay-Z and Bacardi's D'USSÉ partnership draws on this exceptional heritage.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes Grande Champagne cognac significant?\u003c\/strong\u003e Grande Champagne is the Premier Cru of the Cognac appellation — the highest-ranked terroir classification. Its chalky Campanian soil produces eaux-de-vie with the finest floral aromatics and the greatest aging potential. Single-barrel Grande Champagne from 1969 represents over 50 years of maturation in the most prestigious Cognac zone.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eIs bottle #79 still available?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — in our current inventory.
