== Description ==

Lambic d'Aunis (previously labeled as Pineau d'Aunis and Pinot d'Aunis) was originally a test batch using Pineau D'Aunis grapes provided by Olivier Lemasson at [http://www.wineterroirs.com/2012/06/olivier_lemasson_vins_contes.html Les Vins Contés]. This beer is very similar to what was later brewed and released as [[Cantillon Zwanze 2011|Zwanze 2011]], however that beer also had Brambling Cross hops added. ~~Pineau d’Aunis grapes are~~ a minor grape from the Loire region of France. This is the same region as the [[Cantillon Menu Pineau|Menu Pineau]] grape. Pineau d'Aunis grapes are known produce a light and pale wine with earthy, herbal, and distinctly spicy notes.

Lambic d'Aunis (previously labeled as Pineau d'Aunis and Pinot d'Aunis) was originally a test batch using 300 g / Liter of Pineau D'Aunis grapes provided by Olivier Lemasson at [http://www.wineterroirs.com/2012/06/olivier_lemasson_vins_contes.html Les Vins Contés]. This beer is very similar to what was later brewed and released as [[Cantillon Zwanze 2011|Zwanze 2011]], however that beer also had Brambling Cross hops added. It then became a semi-regular release.

~~In early 2016 a new version of this beer appeared with a newly printed label as Lambic~~ d'Aunis.

After Olivier Lemason's passing, Cantillon started sourcing the grapes from Jérémy Quastana who used to work for Lemasson and opened his own winery. The Pineau d'Aunis grapes he provides are actually from the parcel previously owned by Lemasson, and are therefore from the very same origin as for hte previous bottlings.

== History / Other Notes ==

~~Pinot d'Aunis debuted at the Lambic Summit in 2010. At the summit, Jean Van Roy described this beer as follows [sic]:~~

: And this beer here, is a druivenlambic, so it’s a grape lambic. It’s not a Vigneronne, it’s not a Saint Lamvinus. There exists a lot of different types of grapes. And ~~with~~, at the brewery Cantillon, very good contact with a lot of wineries. Lambic is a very special beer. Lambic is a beer ~~because~~ made with cereals, but lambic is also close to the wine world. ~~With~~ a lot of good friends in France and Italy~~. And~~ one of them asked if it is possible to ~~make a~~ experiment. Oliver Lemasson is a winemaker in the Loire valley in France~~. It’s~~ a producer of natural wines, so ~~we have~~ exactly the same philosophy ~~then~~ us at the brewery ~~Cantillon~~. ~~And~~ Oliver ~~tried~~ to save a very old type of grapes. Grapes who have disappeared a bit, a bit like ~~Lambic~~. ~~And~~ we made this experiment with Pinot d’Aunis. So it’s the name of the ... ~~types~~ of ~~grapes~~. It’s a very special grape, used ~~only to blend~~; wines made with Pinot d’Aunis don’t exist or are very rare~~. And~~ it’s a grape who gives some spicy notes, ~~some~~ pepper notes. <ref name=summit14>[[The Lambic Summit 2010#Part 14|The Lambic Summit 2010, Part 14]]</ref>

Pineau d’Aunis is a grape from the Loire region of France. This is the same region as the [[Cantillon Menu Pineau|Menu Pineau]] grape. It is known to produce a light and pale wine with earthy, herbal, and distinctly peppery notes, which really shine in some of Lambic d'Aunis bottlings.

Jean Van Roy mistakenly named this beer '''Pinot''' d'Aunis, where it should have been '''Pineau''' d'Aunis as the ~~grape is actually named~~. Upon realizing the error, he ~~chose not~~ to ~~correct it~~.

Lambic d'Aunis debuted as Pinot d'Aunis at the Lambic Summit in 2010. At the summit, Jean Van Roy described this beer as follows [sic]:

: ''And this beer here, is a druivenlambic, so it’s a grape lambic. It’s not a Vigneronne, it’s not a Saint Lamvinus. There exists a lot of different types of grapes. And we, at the brewery Cantillon, have a very good contact with a lot of wineries. Lambic is a very special beer. Lambic is a beer as it is made with cereals, but lambic is also close to the wine world. We have a lot of good friends in France and Italy, and one of them asked if it was possible to experiment. Oliver Lemasson is a winemaker in the Loire valley in France he is a producer of natural wines, so he has exactly the same philosophy than us at the Cantillon brewery. Oliver tries to save very old type of grapes. Grapes who have disappeared a bit, a bit like lambic. So we made this experiment with Pinot (Pineau) d’Aunis. So it’s the name of the ... type of grape. It’s a very special grape, used mostly in blends; wines made only with Pinot d’Aunis don’t exist or are very rare, and it’s a grape who gives some spicy notes, pepper notes. <ref name=summit14>[[The Lambic Summit 2010#Part 14|The Lambic Summit 2010, Part 14]]''</ref>

Jean Van Roy originally mistakenly named this beer '''Pinot''' d'Aunis, where it should have been '''Pineau''' d'Aunis as it is the actual name. Upon realizing the error, he ultimately renamed the beer again to Lambic d'Aunis to remove confusion when he sold the beer to go at [[Cantillon Quintessence|Quintessence]] 2016.
