COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Vigneronne is a blending muscat grapes and lambic, the brewers and beer merchants produced the "druivenlambik" (grapes lambic). White grapes soaked in lambic. The fructose, which abounds in these fruits, enables us to make a beer which is more mellow than the Gueuze or the other fruit beers. The spontaneous fermentation, the ageing in the barrels for several years and the addition of grapes make it a distant cousin of certain white wines. Changed name from Druivenlambik in 1987.

snowcrash000 (2278) - Cologne, GERMANY - MAY 24, 2020
UPDATED: JUN 7, 2020 Vintage 2018 Review: Pours a slightly cloudy, deep golden coloration with an amber hue and a medium, frothy head that almost instantly fades to nothing. Smells of fruity yeast esters of green apple and gooseberry, as well as white grape must, and with just a hint of blue cheese funk and oak also coming through. Taste is a good balance of vibrant fruity and less pronounced spicy yeast esters, with notes of green apple, gooseberry and just a hint of white pepper, as well as a distinct white grape must presence, some oak and a strong sourness, light citric acidity and some rather subtle, musty, leathery blue cheese funk also coming through. Finishes very dry, with a strong sourness and some white grape must, oak and subtle funk lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth, effervescent mouthfeel with a light/medium body and medium/strong carbonation. This kinda reminds me of St. Lamvinus in the way that the funk takes a bit of a backseat here while the grapes take the spotlight, but at the same time also lacks a bit of that depth and character that St. Lamvinus has, which is probably simply due to the grape variety though, as red grapes do tend to have a bit more richness to them than white grapes, while the latter are a bit more sour, which is also rather noticeable here, this being distinctly more dry and sour than St. Lamvinus. It really does have a rather nice, fruity and dry white wine character to it which is enhanced by the subtle funkiness, although I feel that the strong sourness is somewhat at odds with the otherwise rather subtle balance here. Overall, a nice, quite fruity lambic that is a bit too high in sourness and lacking in depth for my personal taste though. Actually, the longer I drink this, the more overly sour and one-dimensional it seems to me. Seems highly overrated to me, but maybe it's the batch, who knows. Almost tastes like it was brewed with unripe, overly sour grapes. Vintage 2019 Review: Pours a clear, golden amber coloration with a medium, frothy head that soon fades to a fine ring around the glass and visible carbonation. Smell is dominated by white grape, with some fruity esters of green apple and gooseberry and some oak and musty, blue cheese funk also coming through. Taste is an excellent balance of quite expressive, lightly tart white grape and additional estery fruit notes of green apple, pear and gooseberry, with perhaps just a hint of apricot and white pepper, as well a distinct oak presence, light acidity and subtle, musty, cheesy funk, with just the merest hint of white vinegar as well. Finishes semi-dry, with a light/medium tartness and some white grape, fruity esters, oak and funk lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth, effervescent mouthfeel with a light/medium body and medium/strong carbonation. This kinda reminds me of St. Lamvinus in the way that the funk takes a bit of a backseat here while the grapes take the spotlight, but at the same time also lacks a bit of that depth and character that St. Lamvinus has, which is probably simply due to the grape variety though, as red grapes do tend to have a bit more richness to them than white grapes. It kind of makes up for that with a quite fresh and expressive white grape presence though, which is enhanced by the fruity and lightly spicy yeast esters, lending a rather enjoyable and refreshing white wine character to this, with the distinct oak and lighter funk notes providing a subtle complexity here. All in all, perhaps not quite as tart and funky as other Cantillon offerings, but very refreshing and fruity, with a superb, subtle balance. Comparing this to the 2018 vintage, I thought it was vastly superior and I would recommend drinking this as fresh as possible. I even thought that this had a bit more funk and oak to it, but that's probably more because that awful sourness of the 2018 vintage doesn't drown these out as much.

Diabobale (923) - ITALY - FEB 8, 2020
UPDATED: FEB 8, 2020 Dorata, sfumatura antico, con schiuma discreta e dalla lunga tenuta. al naso ti aspetti più esplosività da uve moscato. Tutto sommato risulta pulita, con acetico davvero di fondo. In bocca è bella strutturata, con carbonazione vivace e note acide, da pesca acerba a uva spina, pera. Molto buona
