__NOTOC__

== Description ==

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 75cl bottles and is generally bottled sometime between mid-October and late-November. Though the brewery states that it is only available in 75cl bottles, Vigneronne was also available in 37.5cl 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.

== History / Other Notes ==

This beer was previously named Gueuze Vigneronne; 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>

==Unsubstantiated Stories== Cantillon Vigenronne is alternatively known as In September of 2019 the brewery posted to Facebook that they would be changing the grape varietal from the Muscat varietal to Viognier grapes stating that "because the Muscat grapes used for the Vigneronne Birra Allwere not organic, we decided to move to an organic producer and to use wine grapes instead of table grapes. After some research we couldn'Uva (Vigneronne Grape Beer) in Italy.<ref name = LabelSite>http://www.vandewiele-m.be/bier/brouwerij/cantillont find organic Muscat, but we did find organic Viognier grapes.html</ref>"

The resulting blends will also carry a new label featured below. ==Brewer's Starfrom Original Label==

The six point brewer's star displayed on the label, which is identical to the Jewish Star of David, actually has its roots in alchemy. It represents the balance between fire, air, water, and earth. The Museum and Beer and Brewing explains the balance as such:
