Dolin’s dry vermouth has been a staple of French aperitif culture since the 19th century, originating in the mountain town of Chambéry—the only AOC-designated vermouth region in France. Unlike heavier, more herbaceous vermouths, Dolin emphasizes balance and finesse, using a light-bodied base wine infused with a precise blend of alpine botanicals. The result is a dry, refreshing vermouth with remarkable versatility.
Aromas of chamomile, citrus peel, and fresh herbs lead into a palate that’s subtly floral, lightly bitter, and impeccably clean. Less overtly spicy than its Italian counterparts, Dolin Dry has an airy, mineral-driven quality that makes it the go-to choice for a classic Martini, while also pairing beautifully with tonic, soda, or simply over ice with a twist of lemon.
Essential for any well-stocked bar, Dolin Dry adds depth and complexity to cocktails without overpowering them. Whether mixed into a crisp Martini, used to fortify a sauce, or sipped as a low-ABV aperitif, this is a vermouth that proves why Chambéry remains the gold standard.
