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!

Byrrh Grand QuinQuina Aperitif 0,75L 18%
Byrrh Grand QuinQuina Aperitif 0.75L 18% The history of Byrrh Byrrh is a French wine-based aperitif. Byrrh was once the best-selling aperitif in France and is currently on the rise again. The Byrrh Grand QuinQuina was invented by the brothers Pallade and Simon Violet. The Violet brothers were itinerant textile merchants who recognized the high demand for wine and aperitif drinks at the time. In 1866 they finally developed the recipe for the Byrrh Grand QuinQuina Aperitif. The basis was various dry wines (usually from the Carignan grape), which the brothers skilfully flavored with various national and international spices. These include cocoa, coffee, kalumba, gentian, chamomile, cinnamon and bitter orange peel. At the time, such a mixture was not particularly unusual, which is why the Violet brothers decided to use another special ingredient to distinguish Byrrh from other wine-based aperitifs. They added cinchona bark to their aperitif, which contains the active ingredient quinine, which is known for its effect against malaria and fever. Quinine is also what gives tonic water its distinctive bitter taste. Because of the addition of quinine, the Violet brothers skilfully marketed their Byrrh aperitif as a health-promoting drink. Since the competition naturally did not like this at all, the Violets had their drink officially declared as health-promoting, which meant that it was sold in pharmacies from then on. Byrrh became the best-selling aperitif in France and was also successfully exported to the USA. Due to prohibition there and the Second World War in Europe, however, sales collapsed sharply and tax-advantaged products such as Banyuls, Muscat de Frontignan and Rivesaltes overtook Byrrh. Since 1977, the former family business has belonged to the international spirits group Pernod-Ricard, which still has the spirits manufactured in the old production facilities in the town of Thuir near Perpignan. For several years now, Byrrh has been on the rise again, which is closely linked to the revival of global cocktail culture. The taste of the Byrrh Grand QuinQuina Aperitif The reddish aperitif reveals fine wine and herbal aromas on the nose that harmonize wonderfully with one another. On the palate, in addition to the sweet notes of cocoa, coffee and dried fruit, there is also a clearly perceptible bitter note. This comes from the quinine and sets the taste of Byrrh apart from other aperitif wines. The sweetness is also accompanied by a pleasant bitterness in the aftertaste. Connoisseurs enjoy the Byrrh slightly chilled or as a long drink with soda.

Ramazzotti Aperitivo Rosato 0,7L 15%
Ramazzotti Aperitivo Rosato 0.7L 15% Ramazzotti presents a new type of fruity liqueur, which has been refined with a natural aroma of hibiscus and orange blossom, which not only give the Ramazotti liqueur a delicate rosé tone, but also create a liqueur with a fruity, fresh taste experience. Drinking recommendation What is the best way to drink this special aperitif? Well, because the Rosato neat has a distinct sweetness, a mixture of 5cl Rosato, 10cl Prosecco, ice cubes and a garnish of basil leaves, the so-called 'Rosato Mio', is recommended. If you want to try it neat, you should drink it well chilled or 'on the rocks'.

Dolin Vermouth Rouge, 0,75 L, 16%
Dolin Vermouth Rouge 0.75L 16% The Dolin house was founded in 1821 by Joseph Chavasse in Echeles en Savoie and as a liquor distiller he was involved in extracting aromas from fruits and plants. A few years later he moved to Chambery where his company began to marry local wines from Savoie/Chambery with the countless herbs of the nearby mountain region.The Dolin brand goes back to Ferdinand Dolin, who married a descendant of the founder. Dolin vermouth is drier and more characterful than the Italian style developed in Turin and has a natural freshness paired with the purity of natural mountain herbs.Dolin Vermouth Rouge has the best price/performance ratio away from the big players in the global vermouth business. Top recommendation!
