Lillet Rouge: Bordeaux's Best-Kept Secret!

In the quaint village of Podensac, nestled in Bordeaux's embrace, La Maison Lillet has been playing mixologist since 1872. With a team smaller than a football squad, they craft the Apéritif that's become a synonym for "refreshing." Imagine, using exotic plants and fruits inspired by Father Kermann’s Brazilian adventures under Louis XVI. Now under the Pernod Ricard umbrella, Lillet continues its tradition with a twist of modernity, offering a range of products that are as French as saying "Oui" to an extra croissant.

Dive into the ruby depths of Lillet Rouge, born in 1962 as Bordeaux's spirited answer to "What's next?" A concoction of 85% wines and 15% fruit Liqueurs, including oranges from every corner of the globe and cinchona, it's aged like a fine Bordeaux in oak barrels. This secret blend is perfect for those who enjoy a cocktail with a story as rich as its flavor—notes of sweet and bitter orange dance with quinine on your palate, making Lillet Rouge not just an Apéritif but a journey.
