VERMOUTH ROUTIN ROUGE 16.9% 750ML DISTILLERIE DES ALPES

Semi-sweet red vermouth • The first recipe ever created by Philibert Routin in 1883 and the hallmark of his legacy • 24 botanicals including wormwood, coriander, clove, lavender, and vanilla bean • 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 • Aged for 6 months in used Tronçais oak wine casks; blended 1:1 with unaged rouge vermouth • A warm and inviting nose displays aromas of fig, date, orange, and cinnamon with subtle undertones of tarragon and millet; the palate is bright and punchy with black cherry, tobacco, and cinchona on the attack which mellow out to cola-esque notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and a medley of citrus. • Though technically a semi-sweet vermouth on account of its sugar content, Routin Rouge makes a perfect lighter bodied vehicle for traditional sweet vermouth botanicals without the rich viscosity typically associated with the category • 16.9% ABV
