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.

Bottled shared by Diego. Huge funk and horse blanket nose. Big tart/sour/bitter/funk taste with lemon zest, citrus, and white grape undertones....

Clear gold with a small white head. Funk and light petrol with some sticky white fruit. Woody notes almost sherry like notes and a touch of sweetness. Interesting.

Light, fruity, sour and tart. Citrus and grapes, more saisony than vinous. Some sweetness, a bit of funk, very clean and refreshing. Fantastic after a day of traveling.

Part of a sour beer tasting and K&L Wines in Redwood City. What a great lineup for the night of eight legendary sours. Scores were recorded during the tasting but not detailed notes.
Vig is love. My favourite Canti regular seasonal.
