Lillet Rosé Aperitif

A lively, wine-based French aperitif launched in 2011, built on Lillet's classic Bordeaux blend of 85% white wine and 15% fruit liqueurs, with red wine and rosé elements layered in. It is bright salmon-pink, with subtle red berries, orange blossom and grapefruit zest on the nose. The palate is fresh and fruit-forward yet restrained, with pink grapefruit, green melon, peach, strawberry and delicate citrus, balanced by gentle oak tannin or quinine bitterness. Light-bodied and smooth, it has modest acidity and a dry, lingering finish. Serve well-chilled in a wine glass or with tonic or sparkling water.
