C. Comoz, Vermouth de Chambery Blanc

Comoz is not just any vermouth—it’s the original Blanc style, first crafted in the 1880s in Chambéry, the only AOC-designated vermouth region in France. Revived by Dolin’s winemaking team with historic recipes and traditional methods, Comoz Blanc sets itself apart with its lower sugar, alpine freshness, and layered botanical complexity.

It opens with white flowers, lemon zest, and soft herbal notes—think gentian, wormwood, and chamomile—supported by subtle stone fruit and a touch of quinine bitterness. The palate is round but not syrupy, with just enough sweetness to balance the lift and dryness. It’s a more elegant, less cloying alternative to many modern blanc vermouths.

Serve it chilled on its own with a twist of citrus, in a white Negroni, or paired with fresh cheeses, charcuterie, or savory tarts. Comoz is a must-have for classic cocktail fans and aperitif purists alike—quietly iconic, and endlessly drinkable.
