Commercial Description:
In March 2005, the brewery Cantillon had bought second hands barrels in the region of Cognac. For 15 years, the wood had been impregnate with cognac. Then for 2 years, our lambic has extracted all the flavors and aromas to make a unique gueuze. The name comes from the geographic location of the brewery.

[I tried this one at the open brewing day March 6th 2004, thanks to Jean van Roy and John White] The aroma is fantastic, sour from the wild fermentation yet sweet with notes of lemon and very well rounded. The color is orange and it has no head. The flavor is thin compared to the promising aroma, it is sour with notes of citrus and grapefruit.

Bottled (from Jacob’s collection). Hazy pale orange. Up front Cantillon acidity mingles with strong cognac aroma. Sweeter than the average Cantillon, yet fresh and acidic. After the initial punch the cognac flavour subdues to a more balanced level. Interesting, and - as alwatys with Cantillon - very, very good.

(Bottle 75 cl) Slightly hazy, amber golden with a basically absent head. Sour - very sour - Brett aroma. The body is soft and a little watery - and completely flat. Lots of Brett sourness dominating this - and some oaky touches. Not much cognac though. 090507

Hazy light amber colour. Fresh, wheaty, bretty goodness. Very tart. Very musty. Pleasing underlying sweetness. Slight oak note, but I missed the cognac influence.

Bottle. Hazy orange coloured with a small white head. Light acidic aroma of fruits and wood with notes of brandy and brett. Light acidic flavour of fruits, apricots and wood with notes of brandy, white wine and brett. Tart finish.
