Cantillon Sang Bleu 2023 Lambic Belgium

Technical Details

Tasting Profile

Cantillon Sang Bleu 2023 is a blood-red fruit lambic of extraordinary complexity, built on a base of spontaneously fermented Brussels lambic macerated with haskap — the elusive blue honeysuckle berry from Québec. The result is a vivid interplay of wild berry intensity and classic Cantillon tartness: layers of boysenberry, blueberry, cranberry, and a subtle vinous depth reminiscent of pinot noir. Acidity is bright and refined, never aggressive, while a mellow astringency anchors the fruit. Powerful yet approachable, it stands among the brewery’s most seductive seasonal releases.

Food Pairing

Pair with a ripe Époisses or Langres washed-rind cheese, whose creamy pungency finds balance in the lambic’s firm acidity. Alternatively, serve alongside a dark chocolate tart with raspberry coulis — the berry depth of the Sang Bleu echoes and elevates the fruit and cocoa notes in equal measure.
