Vermouth Dry, Maison Dolin

A classic Vermouth Dry from Maison Dolin is crafted in the French Alps using white wine infused with alpine botanicals. The recipe includes gentian, mugwort, and lemon balm, plus local herbs from the Chambéry region. It is lightly sweetened but remains crisp and aromatic.

Each sip offers a pale, straw-gold color and a complex nose of dried flowers, quince, and bitter orange. The palate is dry, herbal, and slightly spicy, with a clean, bitter finish from the gentian root. Unlike Italian vermouths, this style is lighter and less sweet, perfect for sipping chilled or in cocktails.

Serve on ice with a lemon twist or use in a Martini or Highball. Pair with olives, nuts, or seafood. A historic alpine vermouth from 1801, ideal for apéritif hour in the Savoy mountains.
