Product Description:
Savour the unique charm of Dubonnet Rouge, a renowned 'Aperitif' that blends the sophistication of Vermouth-style beverages with a character all its own. Born from the sun-drenched vineyards of Rousillon, France, this aperitif merges the richness of five grape varieties with an assortment of herbs, spices, and quinine. Aged in oak for three years, Dubonnet Rouge is a delight for those who appreciate a complex, well-rounded drink.

Dubonnet Rouge intrigues with its rich blend of flavours - mint and caramel harmonise with candied cherries and blackcurrants, creating an intriguing taste profile. This world-class aperitif, steeped in history and French tradition, is the perfect choice for any occasion. Whether enjoyed neat, mixed with lemonade or bitter lemon, or used in gin-based cocktails, Dubonnet Rouge elevates the experience.

Producer Summary:
Dubonnet, now owned by Pernod-Ricard since 1976, has a rich history dating back to 1846 when Joseph Dubonnet crafted this distinctive aperitif in response to a French Government competition. The challenge was to make quinine, known for its anti-malarial properties but inherently bitter, palatable for the French Foreign Legionnaires in North Africa. Dubonnet's ingenious solution soon gained international acclaim.

Crafted from a blend of fortified wine, herbs, and spices, with fermentation halted by the addition of alcohol, Dubonnet is a sweet, aromatised wine-based aperitif. Available in Rouge, Blanc and Gold (vanilla and orange) varieties, Dubonnet continues to fascinate with its blend of tradition, innovation, and unmatched quality.

Tasting Notes:
The elegant aroma of Dubonnet Rouge is a captivating blend of mint, caramel, candied cherries, and blackcurrants, revealing a complex and pleasing symphony of flavours.

On the palate, the intricate taste profile of this aperitif unfolds beautifully. The sweetness of caramel and candied fruits is perfectly balanced by the herbaceous undertones of mint and the subtle bitterness of quinine, culminating in a satisfyingly long finish.

Best enjoyed chilled or over ice, Dubonnet Rouge is an excellent companion to savoury appetisers or richly flavoured dishes. It also works incredibly well in a variety of gin-based cocktails. Every glass offers a journey into the world of French aperitifs, guaranteeing an intriguing and delightful tasting experience.
