Cantillon Chenin Blanc is a grape lambic, originally made in collaboration with Olivier Lemasson at [http://www.wineterroirs.com/2012/06/olivier_lemasson_vins_contes.html Les Vins Contés]. After Olivier's passing in 2021, the grapes were sourced at domaine [https://lesotdelange.fr/ Le Sot de l'Ange] in the same area. Approximatively 100 kg of grapes are added to a 400 Liter barrel of 2-years-old lambic, resulting in a concentration of about 250g / Liter.

An offspring of the Jura wine grape savagnin, chenin blanc grapes has a high acidity and a relatively neutral palate, drawing significant variation from the growing region, vintage, and the winemakers choices of ripeness and handling. It can be used in a wide range of styles (from very dry to very sweet), and has the reputation to produce high quality wines, especially in the Pays de la Loire region.<ref name=Chenin-Blanc-Wikipedia>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chenin_blanc</ref>
