Cuvée Saint-Gilloise (Champions) (2016)

Lambic - Traditional

Cuvee des Champions is not a traditional ’gueuze,’ in that it is made from only two year-old 2001 lambic, not from a blend of older and younger lambics. It is also dry-hopped in the cask for three weeks with fresh Styrian Goldings hops. Re-fermentation in the bottle is achieved with the addition of a small amount of candi sugar.

There is no perfect blend between tart and funky as this. Apricots and peaches with a beach and farmhouse aroma that cannot be replicated.

LC; thanks for sharing this, Drew — thought I’ve had relatively few Cantillon bottles over the years, Saint-Gilloise has always been a favorite, and this was awesome; fruit without fruit, super mellow acid, minerals, lingering bitterness; awesome.

Smell is not what I hoped for but the flavor is still in tact.

Hout, grassig, stro en licht kruidig in dee geur. Stro, hout en wat kruidig in de smaak. Wat wrange en houtige afdronk.

No Zwanze@ML. Age has made the bonedry lemonmust overpower most of the (dry)hop, reclaiming it firmly back into the well-known Cantillon house character of musty lemons pushed to the upper limit of puckering dryness. Prefer it w fresh hops blended in.

4Jan2016 bottle. Questionable cellaring; lots of sticky black goo near the lip, pink mold under the cap. Cork intact but wet, emerged with a big pop. Huge carb, rocky head. Subtle funk, red apple skins, grassy hops and intense minerality on the finish.
