Dolin Chambéryzette Strawberry Aperitif (75cl, 16%)

Dolin Chambéryzette Strawberry Aperitif is a French aperitif created by Rosalie Dolin in 1902, made from a Vermouth de Chambéry base infused with wild Alpine strawberries. Dolin has been based in Chambéry in the Savoie region of the French Alps since 1821. The wild Alpine strawberries are more fragrant and tart than cultivated berries, while the vermouth base gives herbal complexity, structure and refreshing acidity. The result is a fruit-forward aperitif that stays vivid and drinkable rather than syrupy. The nose is bright wild Alpine strawberry with herbaceous Vermouth de Chambéry character underneath. The palate brings ripe strawberry and strawberry jelly, mildly bittersweet with refreshing acidity and subtle citrus brightness, finishing off-dry with lingering herbs, soft strawberry and a clean Chambéry close.
