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.

Bottle from the brewery a couple of years ago drank at home now. Pale blond, small white head. Slightly cloudy. Aroma is lovely, nice sourness, grapefruit, lemon, only slight mustiness, white wine, graininess. Taste is very good, nice fruitiness, sourness hits at the start then slowly fades. Quite a bit of lemon, sherbert. Aftertaste is quite woody, and leaves something in the mouth. --- Beer merged from original tick of Vigneronne on 09 Sep 2019 at 16:05 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 9 | Flavor - 10 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 9.

Aroma has grapes and oak. The taste is sour (but not very sour), dusty with citrusfruit and a bit of oak. Hardly any grape taste noticeable. Bottled in '99. A good Cantillon beer, but I prefer the geuze.
