Vineyard History	For more than a century, Lillet has been introducing consumers to the apéritif – a refreshing, light drink that’s perfect any time of day. Since 1872 Lillet has been produced in French wine country, south of Bordeaux in Podensac. Lillet is a subtle blend of rigorously selected wines and fruit macerations crafted on site in Podensac, sweet oranges from Turkey, Spain, or Morocco, bitter oranges from Haiti, and quinine from South America. The taste is light and refreshing, with hints of honey, candied oranges and tropical fruit. As a French wine-based aperitif, Lillet brings a fruity smoothness to every occasion.
Product History	In 2022, Maison Lillet celebrated its 150-year anniversary! Jean Lillet came from Saint-Morillon in Gironde and moved to Podensac, a small town near Sauternes in the Graves region, in 1680. His descendants Raymond and Paul Lillet, merchants of fine wines, liqueurs and spirits, founded Lillet in 1872. They created Bordeaux’s first and only aperitif, known as Kina Lillet until the 1970s when it became simply Lillet, a blend of Bordeaux wines and handcrafted fruit liqueurs produced in Podensac.
