DOLIN CHAMBÉRY, FRANCE

Made to the same base of recipes since 1821, Dolin Vermouth de Chambéry has long been the benchmark for fine Vermouth. Today Dolin is among the few remaining independent producers of Vermouth and is recognized as the creator of Vermouth de Chambéry. And they continue to make the authentic product according to the principles and recipes that made it famous. This means production in Chambéry itself, maceration of real plants rather than pre-prepared infusions, and the unique addition of sugar as opposed to other sweetening products. As with Cognac and Armagnac, the best base wine is very light, and as neutral as possible. The majority of the comes from the Armagnac vineyards of the Gers in addition to local/regional producers. The particular flavors and aromas of the plants are of crucial importance, and the age-old Dolin recipes produce a character that is distinct to this Alpine region. These are individual Vermouths of remarkable freshness, purity and complexity.
