Lillet Rouge was first launched in 1962 as an aromatized wine, with an update in the early 1990s that uses higher quality Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown in Bordeaux, France to make its wine base. It is blended with regional fruit liqueurs that have been infused with various herbs, botanicals, and citrus peels before being aged in oak for 12 months.

Tasting Notes

"The nose is reminiscent of red zinger tea — slightly tannic, with notes of balsamic vinegar and thyme. These tart and woodsy notes also reflect on the palate, which adds additional flavors of tart plum, orange peel, sage, and dried oregano. The finish is rather tangy and slightly vinegary, with notes of ruby red grapefruit and a persistent herbaceousness. "
