Lillet Rosé 75cl

The Lillet Rosé aperitif is produced at the Lillet distillery in Pondesac, Bordeaux, and belongs to the Lillet Frères company founded in 1872 by Paul and Raymond Lillet. The reference grape variety for Lillet Rosé is Semillon, which gives it structure and a lingering finish. Sauvignon Blanc adds juiciness and aroma, and Merlot is essential for achieving chromatic vibrancy. The Lillet Rosé aperitif is a subtle blend of rigorously selected Bordeaux wines (85%) and fruit liqueurs (15%) handcrafted on site. The wine is blended with artisanal natural liqueurs of sweet and bitter oranges, and a secret blend of liqueurs that include red fruits produced in Pondesac. A small amount of quinine from Peru is added to the final blend, a recipe that has been maintained since the early 19th century. This aperitif is made similarly to rosé champagne, a blend of white and red wines. Lillet Rosé is unripened, and the macerated fruit takes place alongside the wine. It does not come into contact with wood during production, and it is not made with Lillet Blanc. All ingredients have been chosen for their quality, characteristics, and complexity. The production process involves six careful stages, and six months are also the length of time required to obtain this magnificent Lillet aperitif. It is recommended to serve the Lillet Rosé aperitif very cold with a slice of orange, lemon, or lime in a cocktail.
