What is Chambéryzette Strawberry Aperitif?

Chambéryzette captures the essence of wild alpine strawberries in a vibrant aperitif that's been delighting palates since 1902, when Rosalie Dolin first created it as a way to preserve the fleeting summer fruit—a technique that allowed the Dolin family to enjoy the taste of fresh strawberries year-round in an era before modern refrigeration.

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Fresh, ripe strawberries dominate, reminiscent of a summer berry patch. Subtle herbal notes of thyme and basil mingle with a hint of citrus zest. A gentle waft of vermouth's botanicals adds complexity.

Palate: Bright and juicy wild strawberry flavors burst forward, balanced by a crisp acidity. The vermouth base provides a subtle bittersweet undertone and herbaceous complexity. Light and refreshing with a silky texture that coats the mouth.

Finish: Medium-length with lingering strawberry sweetness. A pleasant tartness emerges, reminiscent of fresh berries. Subtle vermouth notes of wormwood and alpine herbs leave a clean, dry finish that invites another sip.

Chambéryzette is crafted by macerating fresh wild alpine strawberries in Dolin Blanc vermouth, infusing the aperitif with vibrant fruit flavors and aromas while maintaining the vermouth's complex herbal notes. This unique production method, which has remained largely unchanged since 1902, results in a beautifully balanced aperitif that captures the essence of ripe strawberries without overpowering sweetness.

Chambéryzette was originally created in 1902 by Rosalie Dolin as a secret recipe to help treat her husband's digestive issues, but its delicious taste quickly made it popular beyond medicinal use.

Unlike many fruit-flavored spirits that use artificial flavors, Chambéryzette is made with real wild alpine strawberries, which are so delicate they must be harvested by hand at dawn to preserve their intense aroma.

The base of Chambéryzette is Vermouth de Chambéry, a protected geographical indication (PGI) that requires the vermouth to be made in the Chambéry region using local herbs and spices, giving the aperitif its unique terroir-driven character.
