Blend of lambics aged on average 16 to 18 months and of Muscat grapes.
Muscat grapes make Vigneronne a delicate and very refreshing beer that, due to the fructose, is slightly less acidic than other Cantillon beers.

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.
It is difficult to produce more Vigneronne even though the demand exists. All the grapes are picked from the bunch by hand and we don’t have much time, since the new brewing season starts at the end of October.
The beers are not blended before the bottling. The second fermentation is caused by the addition of a sugared liquor.
The six-pointed star on our label is an alchemist’s symbol. It contains four elements, represented by triangles, of the brewing process. The fire is the symbol of the mashing tun, the earth of the cereals, the air of the yeasts, and the water is the fourth element. At this moment, only a brewer of traditional lambic may use this symbol.

0.75l bottle. Vintage 2015. Super excited to be able to buy it. Very hazy orange body with a white that disappears quickly. Aroma of lemon juice, vinegar, grape must, some mold and slight acetone. Taste of lemon juice and zest, grape must, vinegar, honey, wood and mold. Complex, dry and moderately sour lambic. Awesome. Another MJ500 beer in the bank :-)

Very hazy bright orange colour, minimal off-white lacing; aroma of lemony, unripe grape, vinous, leather, earthy, barnyard, some acetone and lemon zesty notes; taste has similar notes to the aroma with woody notes, tannines and some balsamic vinegar; amazing gueuze! Many thanks for sharing, Kapusil!

Bottle, 750 ml at Miro B's Grande. Shared with him, JFK10000 and Werckmeister. 2017 Vintage. Hazy orange with almost no head. Super funky, juicy, barnyard, grapes. Nice sourness. Smooth. Vintage is way better than fresh, 6 years did miracles.
