Lillet Rouge is a full-bodied, intensely aromatic aperitif wine from south-west France, specifically from the small village of Podensac near Bordeaux. With an alcohol content of 17 % vol., it is the deep-red counterpart to the well-known Lillet Blanc – more powerful in character, yet just as finely balanced and elegant. Lillet Rouge is produced from a carefully selected blend of red Bordeaux wines – predominantly Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon – which are enriched with fruit macerates from oranges, exotic fruits and selected herbs. A hint of cinchona bark lends the aperitif its subtle bitter note.

It is aged for several months in small oak barrels, which gives Lillet Rouge its smooth texture and the harmonious blend of fruit, spice and structure. For over a century, Lillet has been the epitome of French aperitif culture – sensual, elegant and with an unmistakable character.

Tasting Note

In the glass, Lillet Rouge glows with a deep ruby red colour and purplish highlights. On the nose, intense aromas of dark berries, candied orange, vanilla and delicate spices unfold. On the palate, it is velvety, fruit-forward and well-balanced, with notes of blackberries, dried figs, cloves and a pleasant bittersweetness. The finish is round, long and aromatic.

Lillet Rouge is an ideal aperitif for stylish evenings. It can be served neat over ice with a twist of orange, as a long drink with tonic, ginger ale or bitter lemon, or in cocktails such as the ‘Red Vesper’ or ‘Lillet Rouge Negroni’. Culinary pairings include red meat, pâtés, hard cheeses or fruity desserts with chocolate. A versatile aperitif that delights even connoisseurs with its depth and balance.
