Lillet Blanc

Crafted in Podensac, just south of Bordeaux, since 1872, Lillet Blanc is a refined French aperitif made from a blend of Sémillon wine and carefully macerated citrus fruits and herb s. Bottled at 17% ABV, it offers an elegant balance between freshness and gentle sweetness. Bright and aromatic, it reveals notes of honeyed orange, candied peel, subtle florals and a hint of quinine-led bitterness, with touches of pine and lime adding lift. Smooth and lightly complex, it works beautifully as a lower-alcohol alternative to vermouth in classic cocktails such as the Vesper Martini. Best served well chilled at 8–10°C, either over ice or lengthened with tonic or soda for a refreshing Lillet Spritz — garnish with cucumber, fresh berries or a twist of citrus to elevate the serve. Crisp, versatile and unmistakably French. Show more
