Lillet has been made in the petit village of Podensac in the heart of the Bordeaux region since 1887. Lovingly crafted by a team of just 10 people, the closely guarded recipe for the iconic apéritifs is as much an art as it is science — a blend of French wines and fruit liqueurs, with the Rouge built on merlot and cabernet sauvignon macerated with orange peel and bitter quinine.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Ripe dark fruits such as blackberry and plum.
Palate: Fresh orange, ripe berries, vanilla, and delicate spices with a subtle richness.
How to Use: The Lillet Spritz, the Vesper's red cousin, or simply chilled with an orange slice.
