The Shawn Carter Foundation is proud to debut “Bottle No. 1” of the new D’USSÃ 1969 Anniversaire Limited Edition at Sotheby’s, the world’s largest, most trusted and dynamic marketplace for art and luxury.
Â
The auction will reveal the first bottle of D’USSÃ’s small collection of ultra-rare Grande Champagne Cognac from a single barrel, which has aged for decades at one of the oldest and most storied Cognac houses in Franceâthe Château de Cognac. All 285 bottles in the covetable collection are numbered with an inscription on the topper to showcase their place in the batch, and feature a 12-cut crystal diamond decanter design encased in a luxurious leather box adorned with opulent accents. With an estimated value of $25,000-75,000, the donated 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.
LeBron James is revealing the one-of-a-kind gift he received from JAY-Z.
The NBA superstar showed off a special package of D’USSÉ 1969 Anniversaire Cognac that his “brother” JAY-Z delivered to his house.
In the unboxing video, which he uploaded to Instagram Stories, King James is extra careful as he removes the orange box of cognac from its “crazy packaging.” Suspended inside is a crystal diamond decanter filled with the single-barrel brandy.
“Sheesh! This boy like a diamond!” says LeBron before thanking JAY-Z. “Big homie, love, appreciate you, bro.”
The limited edition cognac, priced at $5,000, was created in honor of JAY-Z’s 50th birthday in 2019. JAY individually numbered the first 50 decanters and sent them to friends and family. A limited run was made available to the public in select major markets last year.
