Lillet Aperitif Wine Rose

The first new product from Lillet for more than 50 years, Lillet Rose launched in May 2012. It is best enjoyed neat and well chilled in a small wine glass. Lillet Rose is made from a blend white Grand Cru Bordeaux grape varietals (Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscatel) blended with liqueurs before being matured in oak casks. The liqueurs used are flavoured with sweet orange peel from Spain and bitter orange peel from Haiti as well as locally sourced fruit liqueurs from south western France, which along with a small amount of Lillet Rouge add the rose colour. Finally, Peruvian quinine is also added to the blend.
