About this bottle
Lillet Rouge is a French aperitif wine from the Bordeaux house of Lillet, blended from red Bordeaux wines and macerated citrus liqueurs the way it has been made since the brand's founding in 1872. The base wine gives it structure, while citrus peel and quinine-like botanicals add a gentle bitter edge, landing somewhere between a red vermouth and a light fortified wine. On the palate expect ripe red berry and orange peel up front, a soft herbal bitterness through the middle, and a clean, faintly sweet finish. It suits anyone who wants an aperitif with more depth than vermouth but less weight than a full dessert wine.
How to drink Lillet Rouge
Serve it well chilled, ideally over ice with a twist of orange to open up the citrus. It also mixes cleanly into a simple spritz with soda water, or stands in for red vermouth in a Boulevardier for a lighter, fruitier take.
