The first known bottling of Saint Lamvinus was in 1995, with the vintage stated on the front label. Saint Lamvinus began being imported into the United States around 2001. That year's vintage consisted of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot grapes from Château Belair in the Bordeaux wine region. In 2002, Cantillon again sourced two types of Cabernet grapes along with Merlot grapes for the vintage. The 2003 vintage used only Cabernet Sauvignon grapes and was fermented in 11 Port casks each with a 265 liter capacity.<ref name="SheltonLamvinus>http://www.sheltonbrothers.com/beers/cantillon-st-lamvinus/ Shelton - Saint Lamvinus</ref> Since the 2003 vintage, there are no consistent notes on the grape varietals used in Saint Lamvinus. Any additional information would be greatly appreciated, and anyone with information should contact [[User:Bill|Bill]] or [[User:Adam|Adam]].
In 2004, a special bottling of [[Cantillon_Saint_Lamvinus_Unblended|unblended Saint Lamvinus]] was released to [[Akkurat]]. The 2005 vintage of Saint Lamvinus was released in both 75cl bottles and 37.5cl bottles. The 37.5cl bottles were available for a short time at [[Ølbutikken]] in Denmark.
