Cantillon Saint Lamvinus is a grape lambic produced yearly. Originally, it contained Merlot and Cabernet-Franc grapes, but in the early 2000s the brewery switched to using only Merlot. The grapes used for Saint Lamvinus are not classified organic as the grower does not have the certificate but does grow organically according to Jean Van Roy.[1] It is bottled in 750 mL format usually sometime between mid-October and late-November. Though the brewery states that it is only available in 750 mL bottles, Saint Lamvinus was also available in 375 mL bottles on at least one occasion in 2005. The fruiting process for Saint Lamvinus consists of taking fresh grapes and placing them whole (without stems) into stainless steel tanks with two to 3-year-old lambic for a saturation period of 1-2 months. It is then transferred to a stainless steel bottling tank until it is ready to be bottled.
