Pinot d'Aunis was debuted at the Lambic Summit in 2010. At the summit, Jean Van Roy described this beer as follows [sic]:
: ''"And this beer here, is a druivenlambic, so it’s a grape lambic. It’s not a Vigneronne, it’s not a Saint Lamvinus. There exists a lot of different types of grapes. And with, at the brewery Cantillon, very good contact with a lot of wineries. Lambic is a very special beer. Lambic is a beer because made with cereals, but lambic is also close to the wine world. With a lot of good friends in France and Italy. And one of them asked if it is possible to make a experiment. Oliver Lemasson is a winemaker in the Loire valley in France. It’s a producer of natural wines, so we have exactly the same philosophy then us at the brewery Cantillon. And Oliver tried to save a very old type of grapes. Grapes who have disappeared a bit, a bit like Lambic. And we made this experiment with Pinot d’Aunis. So it’s the name of the ... types of grapes. It’s a very special grape, used only to blend; wines made with Pinot d’Aunis don’t exist or are very rare. And it’s a grape who gives some spicy notes, some pepper notes.
