Vigneronne (2016) Schepers

Viggie is always good but this one was causing some serious heartburn yesterday. Good sign to call it quits.

Lambic D'Aunis 2020 Schepers

With some pasta

Cuvée Saint-Gilloise 2021 Schepers

Returning ritual: morning toilet session and updating on forgotten check ins

Saint Lamvinus (2021) Schepers

This was good

Gueuze +2+3+4 (2011) Schepers

This was surprisingly great! One of the best at Quint for me

Saint Lamvinus (1994) Schepers

Old and musty. I think it lost too much of its flavor to be honest.

Lou Pepe Kriek (2014) Schepers

Excellent

Lambic Vieilli 5 Ans En Fût Schepers

Lekker luchtige brunch

Aronia Lambic Schepers

Last night. Better than I remember it to be. 3.9

Canti Fonte Pasta E Basta Schepers

Bright and fruity. Nice one. Fits well with a pizza place.

Nuit Bruxelloise Schepers

Session 2.

Lambic d’Aunis (2021) Schepers

Session 2

Drogone Lambic (2021) Schepers

Session 2. Digging the wine a lot more now

Lambic Vin Jaune / La Vie Est Belge (2020) Schepers

Session 2. Get this wine if you can.

Muscat Petits Grains Schepers

Session 2.

Nuit Bruxelloise Schepers

#7 and last one (of session 1). Wine is jammy and the lambic tries to follow that. Both are yumm

Lambic d’Aunis (2021) Schepers

#5 light pairing. Aunis seems to be less fizzy than I remembe

Drogone Lambic (2021) Schepers

#6 biggest contradiction between wine and lambic. Wine is heavy and tannic, lambic is reasonably light and fruity

Muscat Petits Grains Schepers

#2. Very aromatic

Beck-Hartweg Schepers

#3. Not my fave. I don’t mind flat lambic but there’s just not much going on here

Chardonnay (2021) Schepers

Numero uno van de tasting. De bijbehorende wijn heeft een hoog champagne gehalte wat nooit mijn ding zal zijn. De lambiek is verder prima

Aspérule Odorante Schepers

Mighty nice lambic. Still waiting on the cheese tho

LH12 Schepers

Fitting they serve this at a cheese shop. This one reeks of it like no other

Vinsanto 2020 Schepers

Le Plaisir (2020) Schepers

With swordfish and cabbage and the wine

Lambic Grenache Blanc (2021) Schepers

Met garnalen ravioli (geen foto daarvan)

Sophia Lambic (2020) Schepers

Met Burrata en ansjovis

Menu Pinea (2020) Schepers

Whew that’s a lot of white grape lambic in a row.

Racine (2021) Schepers

Not as gruesome as the previous bottle of Racine I had (which was a different vintage) and actually quite nice. Very long finish on this one.

Sophia Lambic (2020) Schepers

Almost sweet wine lambic

Poulsard Lambic Schepers

Bit of a simple Cantillon. Tasty but not that complex

Blåbær Lambik (Blueberry Lambic) (2021) Schepers

Preferred the 2019 vintage. This one is less fruity and more dry. Actually more in line with the Blabaer series

Nuit Bruxelloise (2019) Schepers

Thought this had way more carb before but maybe it’s just my shitty memory. It’s a top wine/lambic hybrid.

Lou Pepe Kriek (2013) Schepers

Mag life.

Le Plaisir 2021 Schepers

New vintage? Back label says indeed 2021. Weird. Thought this was a one-off. Still great tho

Zwanze 2020 - Brettrave Schepers

Down with da beetz

Muscat Petits Grains Schepers

Another easy drinking, fresh one

Lambic Grenache Blanc (2021) Schepers

Bit of bandaid in the smell. Quite fizzy carb. Refreshing Canti

Lambic Prunelle Schepers

Only 20 bottles of this one apparently. With blackthorn berry but the fruit is hardly noticeable

Saint Lamvinus (2016) Schepers

Doing some forgotten check ins from a Brussels visit while I can’t drink anything right now as my tastebuds are botched up again due to another covid case. Kinda shit. The beer sure wasn’t.

Nath (2019) Schepers

LCI. This one was real nice, a lot better than when I had it fresh. 4.3

Vigneronne (2018) Schepers

LCI. Viggie never failed me.

Lou Pepe Kriek (2006) Schepers

Yeah, this one held up pretty damn good! (Luckily)

Kriek 100% Lambic (2002) Schepers

Good for its age but the krieken have been muted a fair deal.

Lou Pepe Framboise (2002) Schepers

Holy shit this has turned into an über acid bomb. Thorax destroyer. Way overkill

Racine Sur Lie Schepers

Let’s say the nose is disappointing and the taste is not matching expectations. 3.9

Racine Schepers

What’s going on here? Super nasty burnt rubber smell and off taste. First glass of this share that’s going down the drain.

Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio (2014) Schepers

Magnum. Zachter, minder zuur dan de 2010.

Gueuze 100% Lambic Bio (2010) Schepers

Pretty sour start of the day. Would have loved it to be a bit more smooth.

Crianza Helena Schepers

Super dry and musty lambic. This got old barnyard stuff written all over

Zwanze 2020 - Brettrave Schepers

Love this experiment. Beets all over but the finish is so nice

Lou Pepe Kriek (2018) Schepers

Yessir

Grand Cru Bruocsella Brut (2019) Schepers

First time having this. Actually seems like a very underappreciated one

Vinsanto 2020 Schepers

Not as complex as previous bottles I’ve had of this but still very nice

Zwanze 2021 - Parasol Schepers

Yikes. This is not good. Big cheap shampoo smell. Soapy orange with a very dry finish

Lambic Vin Jaune / La Vie Est Belge (2019) Schepers

Ugh. The other one that’s absolutely amazing. Chestnut bomb

Le Plaisir (2020) Schepers

Yeah. Still an absolute fave by Cantillon. Love it

Blåbær Lambik (Blueberry Lambic) (2019) Schepers

Great vintage. Big Magic Lambic vibes

Nuit Bruxelloise (2019) Schepers

Lovely vinous lambic

Lambic Grenache Blanc (2021) Schepers

2-day lambic and big beer festivities kick off! Gonna be grande

Oude Geuze Boon à l'Ancienne - VAT 108 Mono Blend Schepers

This is hitting all the right spots today. Loving it.

Gewurztraminer Lambic (2020) Schepers

Bitje Cantillon nippen in de middig

Lambic D'Aunis 2020 Schepers

Less fizzy carb than the bottle at Moeder. Sweet & sour still in equal doses

Fou' Foune (2020) Schepers

LCI. Nearly a year later now and it does seem like the apricot is a bit less bang on now. No change in score though, this is still class.

Magic Lambic (2020) Schepers

Hans Klok doet z’n ding

Lambic D'Aunis 2020 Schepers

Fizzy carb. Sweet n sour grapes.

Fou’ Foune (2021) Schepers

Iets minder abrikoosjes dan de 2020 maar nog altijd meer dan voldoende. Melkzurig wat langt blijft hangen in de afdronk. Ik vind t bueno.

Mirabelle Schepers

LCI. From last night. Dinner at Liesse. What a bomb

Vinsanto 2020 Schepers

Weird Cantillon but damn good.

Cantillo Cuvée Des Champions (2021) Schepers

Sold out at the source. Wizarded up some bottles here at Moeder luckily

Saint Lamvinus (2019) Schepers

Does a St Lam ever disappoint? I think not

Magic Lambic (2020) Schepers

Good one to close a Cantillon day with. Sweetness after sours

Gewurztraminer Lambic (2020) Schepers

Yummm. Very aromatic too

CLAC! (Trois Cépages) (2019) Schepers

Still not feeling this one. It’s so muted in all aspects.

Le Plaisir Schepers

3rs time having this. Still a blast

Vin De Paille Schepers

Damn. Super rich. 4.6

Muscat Petits Grains Schepers

Nice white wine-ish lambic. Soft and low carb

Oude Geuze White Vermouth Foeders Schepers

Lekker waerke nog veur n bier festivalletje

Fond Geuze Bierpallieters (30jaar) Schepers

Nice rosemary vibes. Very pleasant

Vin De Paille Schepers

Damn. More vinous and less nutty than LVEB but in a way more drinkable. Great beer, looking forward to revisit this once it has a few more years.

Oude Geuze Boon (2018-2019) Schepers

Lekker. Fijn mals zuur tussendoortje

Saint Lamvinus 2020 Schepers

Dik lambiekske

Racine Schepers

Last little pour of the bottle. Too little to rate

Zwanze 2018 - Manneken Pise Schepers

Juicy at the front, dry in the back

Le Plaisir Schepers

No complaints revisiting this one!

Lou Pepe Kriek (2009) Schepers

Side by side with 2005. More fruit but also clearly less than the 2013 we had earlier today. Still drinks wonderfully.

Lou Pepe Kriek (2005) Schepers

Side by side with 2009. No favorite, even though there are clear differences. Fruit has diminished considerably. Almonds all over now. 4.4

Heerengeuze Schepers

It’s lacking aroma but its taste is pretty unique. Oily texture. It’s a slow drinking geuze.

Lou Pepe Kriek (2013) Schepers

Magnumske.

Blåbær Lambik (Blueberry Lambic) Schepers

Vintage not mentioned so general check in. Not too hot on this one, but kinda expected. Muted/faded profile.

Carignan Schepers

And that closes up this visit to Cantillon. Was a good session

Zwanze 2020 - Brettrave Schepers

This is something else. Beets all over. Massive fresh harvest of beet aroma. Beets in your face in taste. Unique and awesome. Mad beets.

Lou Pepe Kriek (2018) Schepers

Good vintage again. Drinks young and fresh and very quaffable.

Menu Pineau (2018) Schepers

Soft and round. Almost fluffy.

Le Plaisir Schepers

Dope label. Typical Cantillon funk smell. Low on acidity. Some biscuit and minerals. Highly drinkable. Great one. 4.6

Vinsanto 2020 Schepers

Herbal, musty and sulphide smell. Another peculiar brew I am digging a lot. 4.4

Lambic Vin Jaune / La Vie Est Belge (2020) Schepers

Side by side with 2019. Similar in profile but lacking the complexity. Definitely worth revisiting in a few years. 4.3

Lambic Vin Jaune / La Vie Est Belge (2019) Schepers

Side by side with 2020. This one edges out the 2020 for me. Richer and fuller in both smell and taste. Hazel- and walnuts and semi-sweet. Oily texture. Very special and awesome lambic.

Nuit Bruxelloise (2015) Schepers

Lively carbo resulting in a fizzy mouthfeel. Dry finish. Smooth fruit profile. Nice but a bit too much fizz.

Trousseau Lambic Schepers

Soft and very easy drinking. Perfect to start your Monday morning session with.
