Maison Lillet is a French producer of wine-based aperitifs headquartered in Podensac, in the Bordeaux wine region, where production has taken place since 1872. The company was founded by brothers Paul and Raymond Lillet, wine and spirits merchants who sought to combine Bordeaux wines with fruit liqueurs to create a distinctive aperitif. During the 20th century, Maison Lillet expanded its presence across Europe and North America, and the brand became well known through its use in numerous classic cocktails. Production is still based on the careful selection of French wines, primarily from the Bordeaux region, which are blended with liqueurs made by macerating citrus fruits. After blending, the aperitifs are aged in oak barrels, contributing to their complexity and balanced aromatic profile. The portfolio includes Lillet Blanc, Lillet Rosé, and Lillet Rouge, each distinguished by its grape varieties and fruit components while maintaining the house's signature style. Maison Lillet continues to follow traditional production methods in Podensac and works closely with local winegrowers to source high-quality ingredients and preserve the region's winemaking heritage. Today, the brand is part of Pernod Ricard, while production remains at its historic home in Bordeaux, ensuring the continuity of a tradition that spans more than 150 years.
