	Cantillon Saint Lamvinus is a grape lambic produced yearly. Originally, it contained Merlot and Cabernet-Franc grapes, but in the early 2000s the brewery switched to using only Merlot.

Though the brewery states that it is only available in 750 mL bottles, Saint Lamvinus was also available in 375 mL bottles on at least one occasion in 2005. The fruiting process for Saint Lamvinus consists of taking fresh grapes and placing them whole (without stems) into stainless steel tanks with two to 3-year-old lambic for a saturation period of 1-2 months. It is then transferred to a stainless steel bottling tank until it is ready to be bottled.		Cantillon Saint Lamvinus is a grape lambic produced yearly.

	In January 2023, Cantillon announced that the 2022 vintage would, from that point on, use three grapes : merlot (55%) originating from Ms. Brissonot (a grapegrower who is not making wine, but instead sells everything to a local cooperative that takes care of it), as well as grenache noir (35%) and syrah (10%) from Domaine de Ventajou. The ratios may be slightly adapted on different vintages for balance (in 2024 it was 45% for each merlot and grenache noir, and 10% for Syrah), but in 2025, Jean Van Roy said that he was considering really increasing the syrah portion in future blends. That same year, a new switch was made and the grapes for Saint Lamvinus were sourced from different places : Chateau de Fontenille for Merlot - in the Bordeaux area, as well as Lionel Maurel of Mas d'Agalis for Grenache Noir (who also provided the grapes for Carignan) and Clos Mathélisse for Syrah - both in the Langedoc region.<ref name=JVR25>Jean Van Roy, interviews with lambic.info, February & November 2025</ref>		In January 2023, Cantillon announced that the 2022 vintage would, from that point on, use three grapes : merlot (55%) originating from Ms. Brissonot (a grapegrower who is not making wine, but instead sells everything to a local cooperative that takes care of it), as well as grenache noir (35%) and syrah (10%) from Domaine de Ventajou.

	Cantillon Saint Lamvinus is a grape lambic produced yearly. Originally, it contained Merlot and Cabernet-Franc grapes, but in the early 2000's the brewery switched to using only Merlot. The grapes used for Saint Lamvinus are not classified organic as the grower does not have the certificate but does grow organically according to Jean Van Roy.<ref name=JVRPodcast>[[Brasserie_Cantillon#Podcast\|Basic Brewing Radio Podcast, May 30, 2013]]</ref> It is bottled in 750 mL bottles and is generally bottled sometime between mid-October and late-November. Though the brewery states that it is only available in 750 mL bottles, Saint Lamvinus was also available in 375 mL bottles on at least one occasion in 2005. The fruiting process for Saint Lamvinus consists of taking fresh grapes and placing them whole (without stems) into stainless steel tanks with two to three-year-old lambic for a saturation period of 1-2 months. It is then transferred to a stainless steel bottling tank until it is ready to be bottled.		Cantillon Saint Lamvinus is a grape lambic produced yearly.

	In january 2023, Cantillon announced that the 2022 vintage would, from that point on, use three grapes : merlot (55%) originating from Miss Brissonot (a winegrower who is not making wine, but instead sells everything to a local cooperative that takes care of it), as well as grenache noir (35%) and syrah (10%) from Domaine de Ventajou. In 2025, Jean Van Roy said that he was considering increasing the syrah portion of the blend in future blends.<ref name=JVR25>Jean Van Roy, interview with lambic.info, February 2025</ref>		In january 2023, Cantillon announced that the 2022 vintage would, from that point on, use three grapes : merlot (55%) originating from Miss Brissonot (a winegrower who is not making wine, but instead sells everything to a local cooperative that takes care of it), as well as grenache noir (35%) and syrah (10%) from Domaine de Ventajou. The ratios might be slightly adapted on different vintages for balance (in 2024 it was 45% for each merlot and grenache noir, and 10% for Syrah), but in 2025, Jean Van Roy said that he was considering really increasing the syrah portion of the blend in future blends.<ref name=JVR25>Jean Van Roy, interview with lambic.info, February 2025</ref>
