MeuZenne specialises in the blending of Lambic & wine to create a hybrid of exceptional complexity. This refined sparkling drink, created by top sommelier Andy De Brouwer, is a VEP ('vieillissement exceptionnellement prolongé', exceptionally prolonged aging), which has been allowed to mature for two years using the 'sur lie' method (on yeast). The bottling was done at Vin de Liège, Heure-le-Romain.

No head after scant seconds; clear light copperish golden beer. Liqueurish nose, vin doux, fortified wine. Buns with sugar-frangipane coating. Spiced grapes. Dry, with just a faraway acidity from the lambic. Again liqueurish flavours with almonds, sultanas, dry spices. Very liqueurish character, slick. Looking dead, but feels carbonated to a certain extent all the same. Alcohol remains seriously hidden. Special - in the sense that the lambic is certainly not dominant, which is the case in most hybrids. But is it that much better for it?
