Tasting Notes
Lillet Blanc is a renowned French aperitif originating from Podensac, near Bordeaux, with a history dating back to 1872. This elegant drink is crafted by blending 85% Bordeaux wines, primarily Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc, with 15% macerated liqueurs made from citrus peels and other botanicals. The result is a light, golden-colored aperitif with fresh, lively, and citrusy notes, offering a subtle sweetness and a smooth finish. Lillet Blanc is versatile and can be enjoyed chilled on its own, over ice, or as a key ingredient in classic cocktails like the Vesper Martini. - Aaron C
