Description

• Semi-sweet white vermouth produced by the historic Distillerie des Alpes in Chambéry, France

• 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.
