Dolin Genepy le Chamois Liqueur (750ml)

Génépy (sometimes spelled Génépi) is a legendary alpine herbal liqueur that dates back many hundreds of years. While comprised of a multitude of alpine herbs, the most prominent is Génépy, a petite variety of artemesia (often translated into English as “mountain sage”) found principally in the high mountains of the Savoy. Its bright herbal and fresh flavors have long been associated with the mountain air and adventure. Today it is still the darling of French ski resorts and fine dining, served on the rocks or with tonic water, and very welcome after a fondue. Using its own alembic still, Dolin has made this Génépy from local farmers’ herbs since 1821.

Located in Chambéry in the heart of France’s Savoie (Auvergne-Rhone-Alpes), the family-owned Dolin is a historic producer of regional liqueurs and Vermouth de Chambéry. Dolin continues to make the authentic product according to the principles which earned Chambéry France’s only A.O. for vermouth back in 1932. This means production in Chambéry itself, maceration of real plants rather than pre-prepared infusions, and sweetening only by grape must, wine and/or sugar. Since its founding in 1821, the house of Dolin has produced a number of products from local herbs, including the legendary alpine liqueur Génépy. After a family transition in 1905 to now five generations of the Sevez family, the company remains proudly family-owned and independent.
