Dolin & Cie

Located in Chambéry in the heart of France’s Savoie (Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes), the family-owned Dolin is a historic producer of regional liqueurs and Vermouth de Chambéry. Dolin continues to make the authentic product according to the principles which earned Chambéry France’s only A.O. for vermouth back in 1932. This means production in Chambéry itself, maceration of real plants rather than pre-prepared infusions, and sweetening only by grape must, wine and/or sugar. Since its founding in 1812, the house of Dolin has produced a number of products from local herbs, including the legendary alpine liqueur Génépy. After a family transition in 1905 to now five generations of the Sevez family, the company remains proudly family-owned and independent.
Floral/Herbal/Amaro Liqueurs
Sevez Honey Lavender Liqueur
20.0% ABV
Sevez Honey Lavender Liqueur combines the natural sweetness of Savoie honey with the fresh, balanced aromatics of lavender and alpine meadow botanicals, highlighting the family’s experience as herbalists for more than a century. A portion of the honey comes from hives near Lake Bourget in France's Savoie Valley. With its light honey color, the welcoming aromatics and taste of Sevez enlivens your drink, whether in lemonade, simple vodka and gin drinks, a honey lavender Old Fashioned, or the richness of a caffè latte.

Dolin Génépy le Chamois Liqueur
45.0% ABV
Génépy (sometimes spelled Génépi) is a legendary alpine herbal liqueur that dates back many hundreds of years. While comprised of a multitude of alpine herbs, the most prominent is Génépy, a petite variety of artemesia (often translated into English as “mountain sage”) found principally in the high mountains of the Savoy. Its bright herbal and fresh flavors have long been associated with the mountain air and adventure. Today it is still the darling of French ski resorts and fine dining, served on the rocks or with tonic water, and very welcome after a fondue. Using its own alembic still, Dolin has made this Génépy from local farmers’ herbs since 1821. Full details
Vermouth
Dolin Dry Vermouth de Chambéry
17.5% ABV
Dolin Dry is distinguished by its light, fresh and clean profile, which comes from a delicate wine base and more than thirty Alpine herbs. From its start in 1821, Dolin Vermouth de Chambéry has been the benchmark for fine French Vermouth. Its fresh and elegant nose, subtle and complex palate is the profile that made the 1:1 gin/dry vermouth Martini famous, and so often imitated by others. In the 1930s Chambéry earned France’s only protected designation of origin for Vermouth. Beyond mixed drinks, it is an ideal aperitif or accompaniment to raw shellfish, goat cheese or pesto. In cooking, Dolin Dry adds depth and an herbal character that normal white wine cannot. Full details
Dolin Blanc Vermouth de Chambéry
16.0% ABV
The sweet, pale ‘Blanc’ variety of vermouth was first created and made famous by Dolin in Chambéry long before Italian producers replicated the style as ‘Bianco’. The Blanc is traditionally served with a sliced strawberry, a splash of soda and a twist. Dolin blanc’s elegance and slight vanilla edge marry beautifully in the ‘new classic’ Blond Negroni. In other cocktails, Dolin Blanc pairs well with blanco tequila or other flavorful clear spirits. It is ideal for infusions of melon or other fruit, and an appetizing accompaniment to a wide variety of cheeses. Full details
Dolin Rouge Vermouth de Chambéry
16.0% ABV
Dolin Rouge imparts lovely spicy notes amid its light and fresh profile, with a clean finish to complement and not overwhelm a drink’s other components. More than fifty herbs flavor Dolin Rouge; its profile is firm and balanced, without the excessive sweet or lingering aftertastes found in large commercial products. It makes for an exceptional Manhattan that does not bury the tastes of rye or bourbon, even at classic 1:1 proportions. Refreshes a Negroni, too. Dolin Rouge and a twist pairs well with charcuterie or black olives and works perfectly in tomato or meat cookery. Full details
Chambéryzette Strawberry Aperitif
16.0% ABV
COMING SOON Chambéryzette is a palate-pleasing aperitif that captures the aromatics, acidity and delectable flavors of wild alpine strawberries. It’s exceptionally versatile and adds a vivid, balanced strawberry profile to drinks like a spritz, vodka soda, Martini, or a wild strawberry Negroni. It stands apart from the simplistic and overbearing sugariness of other French strawberry aperitifs and liqueurs. This specialty of Dolin, first created by Rosalie Dolin in 1902, draws its qualities from strawberries of France’s Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region on a base of Vermouth de Chambéry. Full details
