The mix is then stirred in oak vats until blended with French brandy. During the aging process, Lillet is handled as a Bordeaux wine (undergoing fining, racking, filtering, etc.).

In the original Kina Lillet formulation (so named with respect to its status as a quinquina), quinine liqueur made of cinchona bark from Peru was included among its ingredients. "Lillet" belongs to a family of aperitifs known as tonic wines because of the addition of quinine.
