Dolin - Alpine Génépi - 40%
The Dolin House, an iconic distillery located in Chambéry, the heart of Savoie, has been preserving an exceptional traditional know-how for over 200 years. Passed down through generations by the Chavasse\/Dolin and then Sevez families, this prestigious house has successfully navigated major chapters of local and national history — from the annexation of Savoie to France to the trials of the Great War and the bombings of 1944 — all while maintaining an unwavering passion for quality and authenticity. Even today, Dolin remains faithful to its ancestral manufacturing methods, inspired by the unique richness of the Alps. Carefully selected ingredients, sourced from the Alpine heights, give rise to secret recipes of great finesse. Mindful of their local and environmental impact, the master distillers prioritize local plant growers and encourage the preservation of threatened Alpine species such as génépi and woundwort. At the same time, Dolin also favors local suppliers for labels, cartons, and glassware, thereby limiting its carbon footprint. The rare ingredients not produced internally, such as artisanal lemonade or Savoie apple juice, always come from within a 30 km radius around Chambéry, reinforcing this responsible and sustainable approach.
This authentic génépi is entirely crafted in Savoie, based on a rigorous composition blending pure water, alcohol, sugar, and macerations and alcoholates of Artemisia mutellina génépi combined with a subtle blend of aromatic plants carefully harvested above 1,500 meters altitude. This exceptional spirit can be enjoyed neat or on the rocks and serves as an ideal base to enhance your refined cocktails. The aromatic richness of Alpine génépi, combined with impeccable distillation quality, guarantees a unique tasting experience that is fresh, delicate, and powerful.
