The Society’s Chambéry
Aperitifs from France
Vermouth is an aromatised wine which is flavoured mainly by infusion of the wormwood flower. It’s seeing a revival in fortunes as craft producers embrace its complex charms, but for us it never went out of fashion! This is one of our bestselling spirits and Dolin, one of our oldest continuous suppliers, really do make it better than anyone. Dry and floral Chambéry is probably the most distinctive of all vermouths. Drink chilled on its own, with a twist of lemon, or with tonic or soda to make a delightful aperitif. Garnish with citrus, peels and fresh herbs to take it to the next level.

Dolin
Dolin has been making vermouth in the foothills of the Alps around Chambery since 1821, using an unchanged recipe making the most of herbs and plants found growing in the region. They were awarded the first and only Apellation d’Origine for Vermouth de Chambery in 1932 and, though the style flourished in the 19th and early 20th centuries, Dolin are the only independent producer remaining in the town.
Their vermouths are made with a high proportion of wine (about 75 to 80%, much more than most vermouth producers) in addition to fresh local herbs and are sweetened using only sugar rather than other sweetening agents often used elsewhere, giving a more natural sweetness and mouthfeel.
All this results in vermouths of great finesse and freshness; and their recipe, created by Joseph Chavasse in the second decade of the 19th century, remains a closely guarded secret!
