Dolin - Blanc Vermouth
Dolin Description
Made to the same set of recipes since 1821, Dolin Vermouth de Chambéry has long been the benchmark for fine French Vermouth. Made with fine wines of the region and botanicals found in the Alpine meadows above Chambéry, together they impart a fresh and elegant nose, with a subtle and complex palate. Ideal as an aperitif or in cocktails. In the late 19th century, Dolin Vermouth de Chambéry won medals in Paris, London, St. Louis and Philadelphia and in 1932 earned Chambéry France's only Appellation d' Origine for Vermouth.
The clear, sweet Blanc variety if vermouth was first created and made famous by Dolin in Chambery long before Italian producers replicated the style as "Bianco". the Blanc is traditionally served with a sliced strawberry, a splash of soda and a twist. There may no better choice for cocktails such as El Presidente or a Blonde Negroni (see back cover). In other cocktails, Dolin Blanc pairs well with blanco tequila, unaged whiskey, or other flavorful spirits. It is ideal for infusions of melon or other fruit, and an appetizing accompaniment to a wide variety of cheeses.
