History /Other Notes
Cantillon Lambic Vin Jaune was aged in freshly emptied vin jaune wine barrels from winemaker Stéphane Tissot. Vin Jaune, French for yellow wine, is a wine made in the Jura region of France. The wine is produced from Savagnin grapes that are harvested late in the season. During the aging process for the wine the barrels are not topped off and a film of yeast forms over what remains. The wine is left to age for six years and three months before traditionally being bottled in 62cl bottles.
The Stéphane Tissot barrel used by Cantillon was freshly emptied and uncleaned. Two year old lambic was aged for a period of four months before bottling. In the May 30, 2013 Basic Brewing Radio podcast, Jean Van Roy discusses this beer: [1]
