Dolin Blanc Vermouth de Chambéry

  • Classic, fresh and clear, with a balanced sweetness
  • Sweet with notes of almond, citrus, elderflower and hints of vanilla
  • Try with gin, agave, white rum or pisco, or in a Blond Negroni
  • Pour in a pitcher over chopped fruit, top with soda
  • Pair with fresh cow's milk cheese or creamy bloomy-rind cheese

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.

About 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. Full details

About Vermouth

In the history of vermouth there are four principal production regions, each with its own distinctive style and varieties. Two of these regions—Vermouth di Torino and Vermouth de Chambéry—have received formal recognition at some point in history. Additionally, Reus's vermouth producers today are banding together to promote the importance of Reus vermouth, both in sustaining the category during phylloxera and as today's aperitif of choice across Spain. Vermouth di Torino is the original “Italian sweet red,” generally rich and sweet. Vermouth de Chambéry is famous for a clean, light and floral style. These qualities made possible (and famous) the Martini at 1:1 gin to dry vermouth. Chambéry is also home to the first clear sweet vermouth, called "blanc." Vermouth de Reus are generally less sweet than Italian varieties, smooth and wormwood forward. Over 95% sold is Red (Rojo/Roig) on ice with olives and potato chips. Marseilles style (e.g., Noilly Original Dry) is historically a lightly aged, oxidative vermouth, made famous in the kitchen for deglazing and cream sauces. The West Coast/Modern styles had an uneven start post-war, but today there are quality products and sometimes unique taste profiles. Full details
