The auction is being revealed as the first bottle of D’USSÉ’s small collection of ultra-rare Grande Champagne Cognac from a single barrel. It has aged for decades at one of the oldest and most storied Cognac houses in France—the Château de Cognac. The collection consists of a limited 285 bottles and all are numbered with an inscription on the topper to showcase their place in the batch, and they feature a 12-cut crystal diamond decanter design encased in a leather box adorned with opulent accents.
The estimated value of the donated Bottle No. 1 is between $25,000 and $75,000. Bottle No. 1 also boasts 24 karat gold foil around the neck and a signature from part-owner, legendary rapper-entrepreneur, and Cognac connoisseur Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter.
