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 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 to produce a light and pale wine with earthy, herbal, and distinctly peppery notes. After Olivier Lemasson's passing, Cantillon started sourcing the grape from Jérémy Quastana who used to work for Lemasson and opened his own winery. The grapes he provides are actually coming from the same parcels previously owned by Lemasson. | ||
