The story of Dolin Vermouth Rouge

Dolin is a family house in Chambéry, in the Savoie region of the French Alps, and it dates its beginnings to 1821. Joseph Chavasse trained as a confectioner in Grenoble and set up a distillery at Les Échelles. After travelling the coach route between Chambéry and Turin, he decided to make his own vermouth, inspired by the Turin makers. He moved to Chambéry in 1830. His daughter Marie married Louis-Ferdinand Dolin, who bought the distillery in 1852 and named it Vermouth Dolin, and in 1876 Marie won a gold medal at the Philadelphia World Fair for her Vermouth de Chambéry. The Sevez family has owned the house since 1919.

Vermouth de Chambéry is made by macerating no fewer than thirty Alpine plants, flowers and spices in white wine, and the recipe is a closely kept secret. The Rouge is the red, sweet style, but it is light and fresh rather than sugary, with dried fruit, herbs and spice and a clean finish.

It is a natural in a Negroni, a Manhattan or a Boulevardier, where it adds fruit and spice without swamping the spirit. Over ice with an orange twist it makes a simple aperitif. Once opened, keep the bottle in the fridge.
