The firs 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 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 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]] that was unblended and uncarbonated. The 2005 vintage was released in both 75cl bottles and 37.5cl bottles. The smaller bottles were available for a shor time at [[Ølbutikken]] in Denmark.
Labeling for Saint Lamvinus has stayed consistent since its introduction in 1995. The United States import uses a larger yellow label, while the rest of the world sees a thinner white label.
