Dolin Vermouths are notably lighter, drier and less pungent than their larger commercial counterparts. The particular mixture of plants found near Chambéry give a fresh, restrained and elegant nose, with a subtle, complex bittersweet palate. Even the Blanc and Rouge retain great balance, with the sugar never cloying, and just enough bitterness to whet the appetite. Each can be enjoyed as aperitif on ice, with a twist of citrus, or in a broad array of traditional cocktails.

Eric Louis’ labels bear the name of his great-grandmother, Pauline, who established the family’s reputation for quality wines all the way back in the 1860’s. A little over a century later as Sancerre’s popularity expanded beyond the bistros of Paris to foreign shores, Eric’s father, Léon, married Eric’s mom, Ginette, uniting the two family properties that would become Les Celliers de la Pauline. The 18-hectare domaine is located in the the village of Thauvenay-en-Sancerrois, one of the...

DOMAINE FICHET: Olivier Fichet stands almost alone in the town of Igé.

Over the years, he became an ardent defender of the Muscadet-Sèvre-et-Maine terroir, the most highly regarded of the seven appellations in the Pays Nantais. Thanks to his deep understanding of the nuances of the land, he played the game much differently than the region’s caves cooperatives and négociants,...
