Vigneronne (2012)

Lambic - Fruit

The name Vigneronne Cantillon was given in 1987. This name reminds us that, while it belongs to the beer patrimony, the spontaneous fermentation, the ageing in the barrels for several years and the addition of grapes make it a distant cousin of certain white wines. In spite of its success, the Vigneronne represents less than 5% of the total production of the Cantillon brewery. In order to obtain grapes which are as mature as possible, we buy them at the end of the season. Every year, 1000 kilos of white italian grapes are delivered at the Cantillon brewery in the beginning of October.

Wow, thanks Steve! The white grape is still so prominent, great tartness, light cheesy funk, light oak. So bright, lingers forever and stays consistent. Incredible, and 12 years old!

This is really kicking right now. Nice musty funk, one of the highlights of Zwanze Day.

EB Frilltessence 2023. Paired with sweetbread. Very rustic funk with plenty of bright acidity and drying grape pit tannins. Tasty but surprisingly rough around the edges.

Tannins and still a touch acidic cold but funky and mild as it warmed up. Great carb, you’d never guess 10 years old

Held up perfectly. The unblemished cork made me optimistic but the head retention is what’s most telling as with all old Cantillon I’ve had. Lychee, apple and lemon mix with petrichor, green olives, & dry straw. Perfect body and very drinkable. Almost 4.6

Jesus Fuck. This is the oldest I've had of Vig, and the best. Hard-core cheese rind funk, enough tart to make the sour beer presence known. Everything you want in an old sour
