Tasting Profile

This vermouth displays a lustrous coppery color and offers a very rich bouquet tempered by a subtle bitter base wine. Gentle aromas of fruit compote, prunes, and walnuts mingle with grassy notes and spicy aromas like Szechwan pepper. Discover layers of almond, citrus, pear, and cinnamon complemented by notes of gingerbread, tobacco, oregano, and hyssop. The balanced sweetness (130 g/l) and 16% alcohol create a harmonious, complex flavor profile that's both sophisticated and approachable.

Traditional Craftsmanship

Dolin's vermouth-making process begins with a neutral white base wine (10% alcohol) to which a carefully guarded selection of herbs and plants are added and left to macerate for several months. The recipe includes up to 54 different botanicals, most notably wormwood, but also hyssop, chamomile, genepi, chinchona bark, and rose petals. The Rouge's distinctive coppery color comes not from red wine, but from the particular plants used and sweetening with dark, caramelized sugar. The vermouth is then fortified to 16% alcohol, creating the perfect balance.

A Chambéry Legacy

The practice of aromatizing wine dates back to Ancient Greeks, originally done to mask poor wine or add complexity to good wine. It also served as early homeopathic medicine, with doctors prescribing vermouths for various ailments well into the 20th century. Dolin carries on this rich tradition from the charming Alpine region of Chambéry, offering a taste of French culture and heritage in every sip. The convenient 375ml half bottle size is ideal for home bartenders and cocktail enthusiasts who want to explore authentic French vermouth.
