Dolin Vermouth de Chambéry Rouge
Description
As the definitive example of the French Chambéry style, this sweet vermouth offers a sublime, elegant alternative to its heavier Italian counterparts. It is built on a delicate white wine base and infused with up to forty Alpine botanicals, providing a nuanced complexity without being cloying or syrupy. This Rouge expression is widely regarded as the "Manhattan Drinker's Vermouth," renowned for its ability to support and complement the whiskey rather than overpowering it. It’s a versatile and exceptionally fresh bottle that belongs on your bar cart for all of your classic cocktail needs.
