Dubonnet Rouge 14,8% Vol. 0,75l
£11.45
The Dubonnet Rouge with 14.8% vol. in a 0.75-litre bottle is a classic wine-based aperitif that has been one of the most characteristic drinks of French aperitif culture since the 19th century. It is based on high-quality red wine, which is enriched with quinine, selected spices and a precisely balanced sweetness. Maturation in oak barrels (Aged in Oak Casks) gives Dubonnet its typical, slightly spicy and harmoniously balanced character.
As the most popular aperitif brand in the United States and an integral part of historical drinking rituals, Dubonnet Rouge still has cult status today – not least because of its special role in the British royal family. The stylistic combination of bitterness, spice, subtle sweetness and citrus nuances makes it one of the most versatile aperitifs around. Whether enjoyed neat, over ice, with a slice of lemon or as part of a classic drink, Dubonnet Rouge impresses with its clearly structured, aromatically complex profile and long-lasting elegance.
Tasting NoteA deep ruby red colour in the glass. Notes of spices, herbs, red fruits and fine citrus on the nose. Harmonious on the palate, with a balanced bitterness, spicy depth and light sweetness. The finish is round, aromatic and long-lasting, characterised by herbal spice and subtle fruit.
Dubonnet Rouge is ideal as a classic aperitif – preferably with ice cubes and a citrus zest. The combination with gin in the legendary “Gin and Dubonnet” drink is particularly popular. It also harmonises well with bitter lemon, tonic or as an ingredient in aromatic long drinks. In culinary terms, it goes well with pâtés, cracker variations, mild cheeses, tapas, but also with dark chocolate or desserts with red fruits. Served well chilled at 8-10 °C, it unfolds its spicy-fresh, delicately tart and long-lasting aperitif structure.
