Cantillon Vigneronne: Difference between revisions

Cantillon Vigneronne is a grape lambic produced yearly from Italian white grapes, most often of the organic<ref name=JVRPodcast>[[Brasserie_Cantillon#Podcast|Basic Brewing Radio Podcast, May 30, 2013]]</ref> Muscat varietal, though it depends on the harvest. Vigneronne is bottled in 750 mL bottles and is generally bottled sometime between mid-October and late-November. Though the brewery states that it is only available in 750 mL bottles, Vigneronne was also available in 375 mL bottles throughout the 1990s and again once in 2005. The fruiting process for Vigneronne consists of taking fresh grapes and placing them whole (without stems) into stainless steel tanks with two to three year old lambic for a maceration period of 1-2 months. It is then transferred to a stainless steel bottling tank until it is ready to be bottled. In 2019, the varietal was changed to an organic Viognier.
