Description Semi-sweet white vermouth produced by the historic Distillerie des Alpes in Chambéry, France Adheres to the guidelines of the bygone Vermouth de Chambéry AOC which required production take place in Chambéry using only real botanical macerations and grape must or sugar as a sweetener 18 botanicals including wormwood, vanilla, thyme, cinnamon, and elderflower Botanicals are macerated up to 4 weeks in Jacquère Vin de Savoie (AOC for wine from Savoy) before being blended with Sauvignon blanc 110 g/l sugar; sweetened with non-GMO beet sugar Aromas of apple, elderflower, thyme, and honey prime the palate for a luscious vermouth which echoes the nose with the addition of lychee, cinnamon, and cinchona and lingering notes of tarragon, clove, and vanilla 16.9% ABV Crafted from Philibert Routin’s 1894 recipe, Routin Blanc was relaunched in 2015 to sate the palates of a younger vermouth-curious generation averse to the more bitter, herbaceous profiles of traditional dry blanc or rouge vermouth. With a fruit-forward profile and medium-bodied texture, this Vermouth de Chambéry-style vermouth is exceptional in any application—from traditional vermouth spritzes seasoned with tart fruit liqueurs & lemon to cocktails such as a White Negroni or an El Presidente.
