	Cuvée des Neufs Nations was not the first grape lambic made by Cantillon. Jean-Pierre Van Roy stated that grape lambic was not new and that he ~~knew~~ about it for years, as when he was younger he found an old commercial from 1901 displaying a Druivenlambik. However, in the 1970s nobody was using grapes in lambic anymore. In 1973, he was having dinner at the Denaeyer restaurant (closed since), and the owner found an old bottle of lambic in the cellar which indicated the use of Muscat grapes. Having an affinity for wine (which he shared a few times in his ''Grummelinkske'', the quarterly letter he writes for the members of the [[Brussels_Gueuze_Museum\|Brussels Gueuze Museum]]), it gave him the idea to restart that trend again, and in 1973, he bottled a grape lambic using 100 kg of Royal (also called Royal Belge or Royal Emile), a black table grape varietal grown in Belgium, on 2000 L of lambic. It was served straight from the barrels at the brewery and served to friends. A few bottles have been made but never sold.
