The history of Lillet
The origins of the Lillet Frères company go back to 1872. At that time, Raymond and Paul Lillet founded the company "Maison Lillet" in Les Graves near Sauternes and began trading in fine liqueurs, spirits and wines. Lillet, then known as Kina Lillet, was finally created in 1887 on the advice of Father Kermann. He worked under Louis XVI as a doctor in Brazil where he recognized the strengthening effect of cinchona bark. Back in Bordeaux, he experimented with the Lillets on combining wines and fruit liqueurs with spices. After a few failed attempts, they finally succeeded in producing Kina Lillet, the first aperitif from Bordeaux. Bordeaux was the most important French port at the time and so Lillet quickly spread throughout the world. In the mid-1950s, Lillet conquered Parisian and New York high society and has since become a staple in bars around the world. After a brief period of weakness at the end of the millennium, Lillet is currently experiencing a revival and is causing a sensation with new products such as the Lillet Rosé Aperitif.
The production of Lillet Rose Aperitif
The base wine for Lillet Rosé, like the wine for Lillet Blanc, is made from the Sémillon grape variety. It is then married with an artisanal, natural liqueur made from sweet and bitter oranges. It is also known that Lillet Blanc's recipe contains cinchona bark from Peru. This ingredient can therefore also be assumed to be found in Lillet Rosé. Like Lillet Blanc and Lillet Rouge, Lillet Rosé matures in traditional oak barrels to harmonize.
The taste of Lillet Rose Aperitif
The shiny pink Lillet Rosé is best served well chilled. Served like this, Lillet Rosé has light notes of red fruits, orange blossom and grapefruit on the nose. On the palate, Lillet Rosé is pleasantly fresh, fruity and lively. The well-balanced structure of Lillet Rosé is stimulatingly sour. Very pleasant! The aftertaste of Lillet Rosé is longer than expected and leaves a fresh feeling on the palate. Lillet Rosé is also wonderful for use in cocktails or with sparkling wine!
