Vermouth the French way
Despite their all squashing dominance the italian vermouths are not the only ones on the market; there are some french brands as well.
The most famous french brand is Noilly-Prat, created in 1834 by Joseph Noilly and Claudius Prat from Languedoc wines. What makes this vermouth special is the fact that it ripens in the open air for several years before the aromatic ingredients are added.
The Noilly-Prat is very popular with both bartenders as well as cooks, because they think it is more aromatic than it's Italian counterparts.
The district Chambery has been know for it's vermouths for nearly 200 years. Starting from 1932 they also have an appellation controlee. The wines can come from other regions. The production methods are the same as on the other side of the alps, but there are clear differences in taste, caused by the used of different types of plants.
