Dolin Rouge Vermouth de Chambéry
750ml & 32 Proof
Dolin Rouge Vermouth de Chambéry is a Vermouth from the Dolin Vermouth brand hailing from France.
What is Dolin Rouge Vermouth de Chambéry?
Dolin Rouge Vermouth de Chambéry is a classic French vermouth that's been crafted in the Alpine town of Chambéry since 1821, using a secret blend of local herbs and spices. What makes it truly unique is that it's one of only three vermouths with a protected geographical indication, meaning its production is tightly controlled to maintain its distinct regional character and quality.
Why do we love Dolin Rouge Vermouth de Chambéry?
Dolin Rouge Vermouth de Chambéry stands out for its lighter, drier style compared to many other sweet vermouths, offering a delicate balance of alpine herbs and spices that perfectly complement gin or whiskey in classic cocktails. As the only A.O.C. protected vermouth, Dolin Rouge is crafted using local wines and botanicals from the Chambéry region of France, resulting in a distinctively fresh and elegant profile that has remained largely unchanged since its creation in 1821.
How do you drink Dolin Rouge Vermouth de Chambéry?
Dolin Rouge Vermouth de Chambéry shines in classic stirred cocktails, where its delicate herbal notes and subtle sweetness can take center stage, but it's equally enjoyable sipped neat or over ice as an aperitif. This versatile vermouth is perfect year-round, though its warming spice character makes it especially comforting in cooler months, and it pairs beautifully with charcuterie, olives, and other savory appetizers that complement its herbaceous profile.

Nose: Fresh herbs dominate, with thyme and rosemary at the forefront. Hints of citrus peel, particularly orange, mingle with subtle notes of cinnamon and vanilla. A gentle waft of white wine grapes adds brightness.
Palate: Medium-bodied and well-balanced. Herbaceous flavors of wormwood and chamomile lead, followed by a touch of honey sweetness. Mild bitterness from gentian root is present but not overwhelming. Soft notes of ripe stone fruits like apricot emerge mid-palate.
Finish: Long and pleasantly dry. The herbal qualities linger, with a subtle peppery spice emerging. A slight tannic grip reminiscent of black tea leaves a clean, refreshing sensation. Faint echoes of citrus zest and alpine flowers add complexity to the fade.
Dolin Rouge Vermouth de Chambéry is crafted using a blend of local white wines and over 30 Alpine herbs and spices, which are macerated directly in the wine. The vermouth is then lightly fortified with mistelle (grape juice mixed with brandy) and sweetened with sugar, resulting in a beautifully balanced and nuanced expression that showcases the Alpine terroir of the Savoie region.
