On Cantillon's official website the brewery states that "the name Vigneronne Cantillon was given in 1987" with a bottling presumably produced in 1989, though its history dates back much further than that. Jean-Pierre Van Roy first experimented with a white grape lambic in 1973,<ref name="CantillonVigneronne>http://cantillon.be/br/3_105 Cantillon - Vigneronne</ref> as well as a bottled version known as [[Cantillon_Druivenlambik_(Cuvée_Neuf_Nations)|Cuvée Neuf Nations]] in 1987 with lambic brewed in 1985. The label design for both the imported U.S version and the European version of Vigneronne remaining relatively unchanged since its creation by artist Raymond Goffin in 1989.
This beer was previously named Gueuze Vigneronne; however, however the word Gueuze was eventually dropped as it is not a blend of 1, 2, and 3 year lambic.<ref name=Summit11>Dan Shelton, 2010, [[The_Lambic_Summit_2010#Part_11|The Lambic Summit, Part 11 (Shelton Brothers)]]</ref>
