: 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. <ref name=summit14>[[The Lambic Summit 2010#Part 14|The Lambic Summit 2010, Part 14]]</ref>
Jean Van Roy mistakenly named this beer '''Pinot''' d'Aunis, where it should have been '''Pineau''' d'Aunis as the grape is actually named. Upon realizing the error, he chose not ultimately renamed the beer again to correct itLambic d'Aunis to remove confusion when he sold the beer to go in at [[Cantillon Quintessence|Quintessence]] 2016.
