: 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 we, at the brewery Cantillon, have a very good contact with a lot of wineries.  Lambic is a very special beer. Lambic is a beer as it is made with cereals, but lambic is also close to the wine world.  We have a lot of good friends in France and Italy, and one of them asked if it was possible to experiment.  Oliver Lemasson is a winemaker in the Loire valley in France he is a producer of natural wines, so he has exactly the same philosophy than us at the Cantillon brewery.  Oliver tries to save very old type of grapes.  Grapes who have disappeared a bit, a bit like lambic.  So we made this experiment with Pinot (Pineau) d’Aunis.  So it’s the name of the ... type of grape.  It’s a very special grape, used mostly in blends; wines made only with Pinot d’Aunis don’t exist or are very rare, and it’s a grape who gives some spicy notes, pepper notes. <ref name=summit14>[[The Lambic Summit 2010#Part 14|The Lambic Summit 2010, Part 14]]</ref>

Jean Van Roy originally mistakenly named this beer '''Pinot''' d'Aunis, where it should have been '''Pineau''' d'Aunis as it is the actual name. Upon realizing the error, he ultimately renamed the beer again to Lambic d'Aunis to remove confusion when he sold the beer to go at [[Cantillon Quintessence|Quintessence]] 2016.
