Since its beginnings, Maison Dolin has tirelessly drawn inspiration from the majestic Alps, exploring their treasures to concoct original recipes, jealously guarded to this day. Faithful to its artisan traditions and deep love of the land, the distillery perpetuates ancestral manufacturing methods, making its products must-haves for lovers of authentic flavors and spellbinding stories. The history of Maison Dolin is inextricably linked with that of Savoie, particularly Chambéry. It's thanks to the plants of the Savoyard mountains, the pure air of the peaks and the inspiring landscapes that the brand has thrived. As a result, all products are passionately crafted right here in Chambéry. Today, Maison Dolin offers a surprisingly varied range for a distillery of its size. In addition to its famous vermouth, which is enjoying growing international success, and its historic references, it offers more contemporary declinations, sporting modern designs while retaining rich, subtle flavors. Dolin has always favored local growers, supporting them in the preservation of endangered wild alpine herbs such as genepi and vulnaria. Suppliers of labels, cartons and glass are chosen from the Chambéry area, and the few products that Dolin does not produce itself, such as lemonade or Savoie apple juice, are processed within 30 km of the establishment.

You knew the Sapinette, here is the Serpolette! This wild thyme liqueur, at 25° of alcohol, completes the offer of Maison 16. Located in the heart of the Forez region, this producer makes his home-made liqueurs from hand-picked organic plants. This is also the case for the fir buds and needles that go into the composition of the Sapinette, the house's first liqueur, created in 2019. Maison 16's products are not sold directly to the consumer, but are available in many wine shops and delicatessens in the region, to contribute to the dynamism of local commerce. Short circuits, always!

The heights around Saint-Étienne harbor incredible resources. The two founders of La Source Distillerie exploit the plants of these Auvergne hills to create local spirits.

Elderberry, raspberry and vine peach wines complete the range. La Source Distillerie has also turned its attention to digestifs, notably with L'Instant forézien. Local resources have enabled the production of 100% local vinegars and mustards, as well as delicious honeys and royal jelly.

In a few years, Sébastien Forissier has dusted off the verbena cultivated in the past in Forez. A dazzling success that led him to double his production. With his Verveine du Forez, he has brought the "grandfather's liqueur" up to date. Wild verbena, lemongrass, officinal, all are labeled organic and grown in open fields without pesticides, picked and trimmed by hand. The maceration is done without coloring agents or preservatives, the product is less alcoholic for an authentic and artisanal liqueur mixing power and freshness. Many starred chefs, wine merchants, delicatessens and restaurants display it on their menus and new products are regularly created.
