Dolin Dry Vermouth De Chambéry

Dolin Dry Vermouth De Chambéry shines in classic cocktails that call for a crisp, herbaceous vermouth, but it's also delightful sipped neat or on the rocks with a twist of lemon. Its light, refreshing profile makes it perfect for warm summer evenings, pairing beautifully with seafood dishes, light salads, or cheese plates featuring goat cheese and fresh herbs.

Nose: Light and floral with notes of fresh chamomile, lemon verbena, and a hint of alpine herbs. Subtle white wine aromas blend with a touch of citrus peel and a faint mineral quality.

Palate: Crisp and refreshing with a delicate sweetness. Flavors of green apple, white grape, and lemon zest are balanced by gentle herbal notes of thyme and sage. A clean, slightly bitter undertone reminiscent of white grapefruit pith emerges mid-palate.

Finish: Medium-length and dry with lingering herbal notes. A pleasant warmth develops, accompanied by a subtle nutty character and a whisper of white pepper. The finish concludes with a clean, slightly chalky mineral quality that invites another sip.
