Dolin Rouge Vermouth de Chambéry (750ml)

Notes

Made from the same set of recipes since 1821, Dolin Vermouth de Chambéry has long been the benchmark for fine French Vermouth. Botanicals found in the Alpine meadows above Chambéry are added to a base wine made from regional grapes to aromatize it, imparting fresh, herbal qualities to the nose and complex flavors to the palate. It is then fortified with neutral spirits. The Rouge is ideal as an aperitif or in a wide range of cocktails. In the late 19th century, Dolin Vermouth de Chambéry won medals in Paris, London, St. Louis, and Philadelphia and in 1932 earned Chambéry France's only Appellation d’ Origine for Vermouth. From Wine Spectator: "Dolin, the last of the Chambéry producers of France, makes dry vermouth that is citrusy and grapey, as well as a sweet and floral style. Its Rouge is notably less sugary-sweet than many of its Italian counterparts, with notes of dried fruit and honey." (10/2013)
