Cantillon Moeder Lambic Fontainas Cuvée X Browsel
Description
Cantillon Moeder Lambic Fontainas Cuvée X Browsel is a gueuze blended for the 10th anniversary of Moeder Lambic Fontainas. It is a blend of 3 and 4-year-old lambics and was bottled in various sizes (most of them being 750 mL, but also 375 mL & 3 L jeroboams, though the latter never came to be, as they all exploded due to unexpected high pressures, as well as not being secured beside a regular cork, which wasn't enough), as well as six 20 L and three 30 L kegs.
History / Other Notes
Initially blended in October 2019 and meant to be part of a city-wide lambic celebration during Cantillon's Quintessence event in 2020, this bottle was publicly released for the first time after the Covid-19 pandemic in 2022 during the rescheduled Quintessence celebration. It was released to go at the Moeder Lambic/Cantillon Into the Wine event that same weekend. It is a blend of 70% 3-year-old lambic (300 L of 3-year-old lambic from barrel T34 and 600 L of 3-year-old lambic from barrel T46) and 30% 4-year-old lambic (400 L of 4-year-old lambic from barrel S40).
