4.3Untappd

Cantillon Lambic d’Aunis (2022) pours a deep reddish-orange hue with the characteristic minimal, quickly-dissipating white head typical of traditional Belgian lambic. The appearance is slightly hazy, carrying the unmistakable vinous depth of the Pineau d’Aunis grape from the Loire Valley. On the nose, expect an intoxicating interplay of wild funk, tart red berries, earthy barnyard, spiced grape skin, and a whisper of floral herbs — a hallmark of Cantillon’s legendary spontaneous fermentation process. The palate is lively and fizzy, light-to-medium bodied, with mouth-puckering acidity balanced by subtle berry sweetness and a dry, tannic vinous character.

Brettanomyces-driven funk weaves seamlessly with fruity grape notes, a touch of oak, and mineral complexity. The finish is long, dry, and elegantly tart, leaving a lingering impression of fresh lemon peel and wild earthiness. Eminently drinkable now yet with clear cellaring potential, this world-class fruit lambic rewards patience.

Food Pairing

Cantillon Lambic d’Aunis 2022 pairs beautifully with aged goat’s cheese or a tangy chèvre from the Loire Valley, whose creamy acidity mirrors the beer’s vinous tartness. For a savory match, try thinly sliced charcuterie — particularly bresaola or air-dried beef — where the mineral funk and dry, grape-forward finish cut through richness and elevate every bite.
