	Up to 2024 the Viognier grapes were sourced from the négoce of Domaine de Vantajou in the Minervois area (south of France), but from 2025 on the brewery started sourcing from winemaker Johan Tête in Eclassan, located in the northern part of the Ardèche region (sout-east of France, about an hour south of Lyon)~~, who also started providing the grapes for Saint Lamvinus~~.

However, thanks to the unused bins for the Viognier grapes, they were filled with Grenache Noir and Syrah for the new Saint-Lamvinus.”		There was no Vigneronne produced in 2022.

	In 2025, Vigneronne ~~will~~ also ~~include~~ 30% Chenin Blanc ~~from the Loire region (west of France)~~ because of decrepencies during harvest and communication errors on the producer's side. Indeed, the brewery was originally told at the last minute that there wouldn't be enough Viognier to provide for them, so they looked around for organic ~~Viognier~~ but couldn't find any on short notice, and they placed an order or Chenin Blanc instead. They were then told during harvest that finally, the order could be honored, but since they couldn't cancel the whole delivery of Chenin Blanc out of respect for the producer, they only reduced it, resulting in that special blend.

	On Cantillon's official website, the brewery states that "the name Vigneronne Cantillon was given in 1987" with a bottling presumably produced in 1989, though its history dates back much further than that.
