“The two Lillet aperitifs come from the Bordeaux region of France using regional grapes. The base wine is matured in oak and flavored with sweet and bitter oranges. The aperitifs are less bitter in flavor than most with a gentle sweetness that is not cloying. The Rose incorporates some of the Rouge for color and has a pretty strawberry and lemon aroma. The Blanc has a more focused citrus aroma. I enjoy both over ice with a spritz of lemon and seltzer.” -Suzanne
Winery note “The main grape variety in Lillet Blanc is Sémillon, which gives it a full, fleshy structure and a smooth, fruity taste with aromas of candied oranges, honey, pine resin and exotic fruits. Full and fleshy on the palate. Like the Blanc, the main grape variety in Lillet Rosé is Sémillon. These wines are combined with natural liqueurs, handcrafted in Podensac from sweet and bitter oranges and berries. It is this meticulously balanced blend that gives the Rosé its delicate aromas of berries, orange blossom and grapefruit. Fresh, lively and fruity. Balanced structure. Slightly acidic.”
