== Description ==
Cantillon Saint Lamvinus is a grape lambic produced yearly from Merlot and Cabernet-Franc grapes, though it depends on the harvest. Most recent vintages only note the use of Merlot grapes. The grapes used for Saint Lamvinus are not classified organic as the grower does not has 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 75cl bottles and is generally bottled sometime between mid-October and late-November. Though the brewery states that it is only available in 75cl bottles, Saint Lamvinus was also available in 37.5cl 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.
