Chambéry, the largest city in the Savoie region of eastern France, is the birthplace of French Vermouth: the house of Dolin was founded in 1821 and that of Comoz in 1856, Jean-Pierre Comoz having previously worked for Dolin. It was in fact Jean-Pierre’s son Claudius who changed the production process of pale vermouth and created “Vermouth Blanc.” The house declined along with the vermouth category in the late 20th century, closing its own operations in 1981. Production continued under contract for almost rwenty years until disappearing completely by the year 2000. Today, the original recipe is produced by Dolin et Cie. Comoz Vermouth Blanc expressed Claudius Comoz’s selection of wines, plants and fruits, many of which come from the hills above Chambéry. It is less sweet than other vermouth blanc, with notes of stone fruits, alpine flowers and a deep, resonant undercurrent of wormwood.
