Cantillon La Corvée
Description
La Corvée is a 2-year-old lambic macerated on grape pomace from the Poulsard and Trousseau varieties, sourced at Stéphane Tissot in the Jura region of France. Before being sent to Cantillon, the grapes were used for a wine that spent 3 months macerating on skins in amphorae.
Side Notes
The Jura varietals Trousseau and Poulsard are both light red grapes (specially the latter, which has a very thin skin releasing almost no tannins, giving a result slightly reminiscent of "rosé wine", which it isn't).
The first batch of La Corvée was blended from lambic aged separately on Poulsard and Trousseau. The following blends were made by macerating both the grapes on lambic together. In both cases, 350 to 400 g / L of grape pomace was used, with a majority of Trousseau.
