Lillet Blanc Aperitif de France

Lillet Blanc is a French aperitif made from a blend of Bordeaux white wines and macerated citrus liqueurs. It has a rich heritage dating back to 1872 and is made in Podensac, just south of Bordeaux. The wines are aged in oak and combined with fruit-forward liqueurs. It is light, floral and elegantly bittersweet, with a balance of sweetness and subtle bitterness. Pale golden straw in appearance, it smells of candied orange peel, honeysuckle, white flowers and a whisper of herbs. The palate is delicate and smooth, with sweet citrus, honey, ripe peach and a hint of quinine bitterness, finishing crisp, clean and subtly herbal.
