Lambic d'Aunis (2017) Cottreau

Pressed lamb leg - herby radicchio - fried potato - lamb jus Combo didn't work so great actually funnily enough. Dish was so powerful it took over the beer. Next time - lagers only! Beer was so fruity, dank, grapes come through nicely with some funk

Cuvée Saint-Gilloise (Champions) (2017) Cottreau

This is drinking amazingly at ~5y.o. Floral, muted hop profile, typical lemon/lime cantillon profile. Balanced acidity. some funk on nose and minerality on palate. Easy to drink this 75 all by myself!

Gueuze 100% Lambic (1994) Cottreau

Crazy good for what it is. Once it opened up it lost a bit of its charm but this was much softer and less acidity than most cantillon even a third of it'd age. Some bright lemon notes but was also a little buttery but what a crazy pop once opened!

Tarlantillon Cottreau

Best white wine grape we had all weekend. Was actually taken back how good this was. Very complex and different than your standards, similar to menu pineau 19 we had on draft. No buttery fresh pressed grapes. Acidity, tannins, some stone fruit

I think they did this no favors by pairing it with the wine. The wine was great but super punchy while this was soft and creamy and on the subtler side. Would love to revisit a bottle!
