Chambéryzette Strawberry Aperitif
750ml & 32 Proof
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.
Why do we love Chambéryzette Strawberry Aperitif?
Cocktail enthusiasts should adore Chambéryzette for its authentic wild alpine strawberry flavor and versatility in drinks, setting it apart from overly sweet strawberry liqueurs with its balanced acidity and aromatic profile that shines even when diluted, thanks to its unique base of Vermouth de Chambéry.
How do you drink Chambéryzette Strawberry Aperitif?
Chambéryzette shines in refreshing spritz-style cocktails or as a low-ABV sipper over ice, making it perfect for warm summer afternoons and evenings; its bright strawberry notes pair beautifully with light appetizers, fresh salads, and fruity desserts.
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.
