Vermut Routin Blanc is a premium French vermouth from the historic town of Chambéry. This unique drink is inspired by Philibert Routin's original recipe, which was invented over a century ago and is still closely guarded in the vault of La Distillerie Des Alpes, founded in 1883. Since its foundation, the distillery has strived to preserve traditional Alpine recipes and production techniques, making it a true guardian of the region's culture and culinary heritage.
Composition and Production:
Vermut Routin Blanc is made from carefully selected Sauvignon white wine and local Jacquère wine. A blend of 18 plants, flowers and spices are added to the wines and macerated for several weeks to allow the flavours to fully develop and combine. Key ingredients include thyme, which gives the vermouth its characteristic herbal and spicy notes.
Flavour Profile:
Vermut Routin Blanc is characterised by its very sweet taste and its light yellow colour, which gives it its distinctive character. The aroma is dominated by aromatic notes of thyme accompanied by light spicy nuances. Its flavour is complex and versatile, ideal for enjoying on its own or as a base for various cocktails.
Traditionally, Vermut Routin Blanc is served neat, on the rocks, with a slice of lemon or pink grapefruit. It is also great as a long drink, diluted with sparkling water or a slightly bitter tonic. Once opened, vermouth should be kept cool and upright to preserve its quality and aromatic bouquet.
One popular cocktail is the "Strawberry Chambery", a modern Spritz that combines Vermouth Routin Blanc with strawberry syrup and Crémant de Savoie sparkling wine. This cocktail is perfect for summer celebrations and social events.
Vermut Routin Blanc is not only a celebration of traditional French art, but also a treasure that brings a taste of history and quality to every glass. Discover this exceptional vermouth and be swept away by its complex flavours and aromas.
