Lillet Blanc 0.75l/ Aperitif from France
This fine French aperitif wine is a blend of 85% Bordeaux wines (Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle) and 15% macerated liqueurs, mostly citrus liqueurs from the peels of sweet oranges from Spain and Morocco and the peels of bitter green oranges from Haiti. Lillet Blanc was reformulated in 1987 in order to lower the sugar content and bitterness, with the assistance of the Oenology Institute of Bordeaux Segalen University.
