Lillet Rouge 750ml

The Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon base gives it a richer body than most aperitifs, and the citrus and herbal notes are perfectly balanced. It's become my go‑to for a quick, complex spritz on warm evenings.

Switching from gin cocktails, this Bordeaux-based aperitif brings a much richer, fruitier base that pairs perfectly with tonic water. The blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon gives it a smooth depth I wasn't expecting from an aperitif wine.

The blend of Merlot and Cabernet with those citrus and spice notes makes it dangerously easy to sip on its own over ice. Pouring it over a big cube with a twist of orange peel brings out the herbs beautifully, and the bottle disappeared faster than I expected.
