== History / Other Notes ==
Cuvée des Champions was initially bottled to honor the Royale Union Saint-Gilloise's 2003-2004 championship season in the Belgian Third Division B. The name and color scheme for the labeling is derived from the Royale Union Saint-Gilloise's team colors. The team was originally located in the municipality of Saint-Gilles in Brussels near Cantillon but has since moved to the neighboring municipality of Forest. In 2010 both Cuvée Des Champions and [[Cantillon_Cuvée_Saint_Gilloise|Cuvée Saint Gilloise]] overlapped in the Cantillon lineup. The labeling for the bottles is the same for U.S verion.
