Brewery: Brasserie Cantillon
Country: Belgium
ABV: 6.5%
Style: Lambic – Fruit
Other Notes: 2019+ Viognier grape version
Brewer Description: (from bottle) A fine compromise between wine and beer, this is the Vigneronne Cantillon 100% lambic. The fruity taste of the white grape harmonized with the powerful character of a two year old lambic make from the Vigneronne Cantillon an unique beer. Beer with a taste evolution. Store and serve at cellar temperature 10-13°C/50-55°F. To enjoy completely the fruity taste of the Vigneronne Cantillon, drink it better in the year after purchase. To be drunk preferably within the 10 years after the bottling date.

Intro: A 750ml corked and capped bottle, 2019 vintage, bottled on 10th October 2019. Poured into a 3 Fonteinen stemmed Zenne glass.
Appearance: A nice clear golden orange colour with a slightly less than one finger white head that had decent retention and left some lacing.
Aroma: Grape skin, white wine vinous, lightly tart, dry grass, funky, musty, and a touch of wood.
Taste: Lightly sour and tart, white wine vinous, grape skin, lemon juice, damp wood, funky, musty, with notes of dry grass and hay.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
Overall: Enjoyable and easy drinking, but I prefer the previous Muscat version slightly more.
