Dolin Chamberyzette Strawberry Aperitif

An alpine classic, freshly vivid now. Blending Vermouth de Chambéry with wild Alpine strawberries, Dolin captures Belle Époque charm in a balanced, gently sweet aperitif built for spritzes and cocktails. Strawberry aromas feel natural, not jammy, with herb-speckled vermouth notes that keep everything crisp and refreshingly lifted. At 16% ABV, it’s light, versatile, and perfect for spritzes, cobblers, or low-proof riffs on classics. Serve well chilled over ice with a lemon twist for a clean, cooling aperitif that invites a second pour without fatigue. It tastes like summer in Chambéry.

Nose:
Fresh strawberries lead, bright and pure. Behind the fruit, gentle vermouth botanicals suggest chamomile, gentian, thyme, and citrus peel, adding lift while keeping the bouquet graceful and never cloying. Hints of rose petal, fresh-cut hay, and a whisper of alpine honey round everything with delicate sweetness.

Palate:
Lithe, refreshing, and softly sweet. Strawberry flavors glide across herbal vermouth bitterness, with orange zest, white tea, and a faint quinine note balancing sweetness into a beautifully poised sip. Silky texture offers gentle weight while brisk acidity keeps the palate lively and ready for salty snacks or bubbly mixers.

Finish:
Clean, herbal, and strawberry kissed. A delicate wave of gentian, citrus pith, and rose-tinged fruit fades slowly, leaving a cool, alpine freshness that invites another light, quenching sip. Subtle bitterness dries the finish, keeping sweetness tidy and your appetite happily primed.
