  Dolin French Blanc Vermouth 75 cl 16%

  Item no.: 222278654231473-8007

  In Chambéry, white wine meets orange peel, elderflower and mountain pine, and the result is a vermouth that manages to feel both substantial and light at once.

  Expert's Description

  Dolin French Blanc Vermouth is a White Vermouth from Chambéry in Savoie, made from white wine and flavoured with more than 30 alpine herbs, with an alcohol content of 16%.

  It follows the same recipe the house of Dolin has used since 1821, when Joseph Chavasse settled in Chambéry and began infusing local white wine with alpine plants and spices. The Sevez family, who have owned and run the house since 1919, still hold to this traditional method through several generations. The Blanc style differs from the house's dry vermouth with a gentler sweetness and a broader range of citrus and floral notes, drawn from the same alpine herbs that grow around Chambéry, a town that in 1932 received France's only protected designation of origin for vermouth.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Rich orange citrus aromas and a light toffee-like sweetness, joined by almonds, orange peel and spicy bark with a touch of menthol and pine forest.

  Palate

  Delicate and lightly sweet, balanced by the white wine's acidity, with notes of pear, pineapple, citrus and elderflower alongside a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg.

  Finish

  A well-balanced finish between bitter, sweet and acidic, with lasting notes of elderflower and citrus peel.

  Dolin Vermouth Dry France 16%

  Item no.: 222278654231473-8005

  High above Chambéry, the Alps rise into thin mountain air, and wormwood and other alpine herbs cling to the rock, soaking up sun through the short summer. It is these plants that give Dolin Vermouth Dry its clean, dry character.

  Expert's Description

  Dolin Vermouth Dry is a Dry Vermouth from Chambéry in Savoie, made from white wine and flavoured with more than 30 alpine herbs, with an alcohol content of 16%.

  Dolin was founded in 1821 by Joseph Chavasse, who had already been running a liqueur distillery near Mont Blanc since 1815. Inspired by the aperitifs of Turin, he created a new vermouth with a secret recipe of white wine from Savoie infused with a wide range of alpine plants and spices. In 1843 Louis-Ferdinand Dolin married into the family and gave his name to the house, and since 1919 the Sevez family has carried the tradition forward through several generations as an independent, family-owned house. In 1932 Chambéry became the only town in France to receive a protected designation of origin for vermouth, and Dolin is today considered the oldest and last independent vermouth producer remaining in the town.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Fresh and light aromas of citrus peel, menthol and balsamic notes, underscored by lychee, grape juice, almond and a touch of pine forest.

  Palate

  Gentle sweetness with tropical, almost lychee-like notes, giving way to drier, herbal nuances and finishing on a bitter clove note.

  Finish

  Medium length and dry, with lingering herbal notes, a light warmth, a whisper of nuttiness and white pepper, closing on a clean, faintly chalky minerality.

  Dolin Vermouth Rouge France 16%

  Item no.: 222278654231473-8006

  Above Chambéry the Alps rise into thin mountain air, and up among the rocks hyssop, wormwood and juniper stand soaking up sun through the short summer. Every glass of Dolin Vermouth Rouge carries an echo of those mountains.

  Expert's Description

  Dolin Vermouth Rouge is a Red Vermouth from Chambéry in Savoie, made from white wine of the Ugni Blanc grape and flavoured with 30-40 alpine herbs, with an alcohol content of 16%.

  Dolin was founded in 1821 by Joseph Chavasse, who had already been running a liqueur distillery near Mont Blanc since 1815. Inspired by the aperitifs of Turin, he created a new vermouth with a secret recipe, infusing Savoie white wine with hyssop, wormwood, juniper and a long list of other alpine herbs. In 1843 Louis-Ferdinand Dolin married into the family and gave his name to the house, and since 1919 the Sevez family, who still own and run the business, have carried the tradition forward through several generations. The Rouge style stands apart from the house's other vermouths through its deep amber-red colour and fuller, spicier character, even though the base remains the same white wine from the Ugni Blanc grape.

  Tasting Notes

  Nose

  Fruit compote, prune and walnut, with a hint of fresh grass, spiced with cinnamon, vanilla and szechuan pepper, alongside fresh herbs such as thyme and rosemary and a touch of orange peel.

  Palate

  Almond, citrus, pear and violet, carried by herbal notes of wormwood and chamomile, a mild honeyed sweetness and a light bitterness from gentian root, rounded off by ripe stone fruit such as apricot.

  Finish

  Long and pleasantly dry, with lingering herbal notes, a light peppery spice and a hint of tannic, tea-leaf-like grip that closes clean and refreshing.

  Did you know?

  Dolin still uses a white wine made from the Ugni Blanc grape as the base for its Rouge, with the red colour coming purely from the flavouring rather than from red wine.
