Cantillon Fou’ Foune 2024 | Belgian

Technical Details

Tasting Profile

Cantillon Fou’ Foune 2024 is a benchmark Belgian Fruit Lambic from the legendary Brussels brewery Brasserie Cantillon. Crafted from a blend of lambics aged 18 to 20 months and refermented with prized Bergeron apricots, it pours a luminous pale gold with a delicate white head. The nose opens with subtle, fresh apricot and characteristic wild-yeast funk. On the palate, vibrant acidity and stone-fruit sweetness intertwine in a seamless, champagne-like effervescence. The finish is dry, tart, and lingering — a masterclass in spontaneous fermentation.

Food Pairing

Pair with a creamy fresh chèvre or Brie de Meaux — the lambic’s tartness cuts through rich dairy with elegance. Alternatively, serve alongside pan-seared foie gras with an apricot compote, where the beer’s stone-fruit character mirrors and amplifies the dish’s luxurious sweetness.
