DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
Lillet comes from Podensac, a village just south of Bordeaux, where brothers Paul and Raymond Lillet started the house. It is an aperitif wine, the kind of drink the French pour before a meal.
Lillet Blanc is about 85% Bordeaux wine, mainly Sémillon, and 15% citrus liqueurs made by steeping orange peels in spirit for months. The blend is then aged in oak vats. It pours a golden, shining yellow. Expect candied orange, orange blossom, honey, ripe peach and apricot, with lime and a touch of fresh mint. The palate is fresh and fruity, with marmalade and honey and a crisp, clean finish. Lighter and less bitter than the old Kina Lillet.
Serve it well chilled, 43 to 46°F, over ice in a wine glass with a slice of orange. For a long drink, mix one part Lillet with two parts tonic and add cucumber or berries. It is also a key ingredient in the Vesper martini. Pair it with olives, shrimp, smoked salmon or soft goat cheese.
