Tasting Profile

4.3Untappd

Cantillon Blåbær Lambik 37.5 cl 2019 pours a deep, moody violet-purple with faint pink highlights at the edges and a delicate rose-tinted head that settles quickly to a thin, fine collar — classic for a naturally carbonated fruit lambic. The nose is arrestingly vivid: ripe and slightly underripe blueberries lead the way, underpinned by sharp lemon zest, earthy barnyard funk, a whisper of wild brett, and a light tannic grape-skin note that signals the quality of the fruit maceration. On the palate, the mouthfeel is crisp, prickly, and refreshingly lean — no sweetness dominates here.

The blueberry character unfolds in waves, veering from jammy-sweet to tartly acidic as the temperature rises in the glass, backed by lemon peel bitterness and a pleasingly dry, chalky minerality. The finish is long, clean, and bone-dry, with a lingering sourness and subtle fruit skin tannins that invite the next sip. With only a handful of bottles produced per vintage and exclusive distribution at Himmeriget in Copenhagen, the 2019 edition is one of the most coveted fruit lambics in the world.

Food Pairing

The Cantillon Blåbær Lambik 2019 shines alongside a creamy Brillat-Savarin triple-cream brie on a slate board with honeycomb and walnut bread — the fat of the cheese rounds the acidity beautifully. For a savoury contrast, pair with a charcuterie of aged duck prosciutto and dried figs, where the blueberry tartness cuts through the richness with precision.
