Cantillon Grand Cru Bruocsella 75cl

Style and Colour: Vintage lambic 

Taste: Vinous and slightly oxidized, the acidic flavours blend with the mellow side. Powerful and elegant, Bruocsella is the missing link between the world of wine and beer. Bruocsella is a calm and non-sparkling beer that is not refermented in the bottle. Its long ageing period gives its bouquet fine nuances of toasted bread, which some say reminds it of the Burgundian white grape variety "Chardonnay".

Alcohol: 5 % ABV

Drinking Temperature: 15° C  

Fermentation: Lambic matured for three years in oak barrels and selected for its exceptional colour, bouquet and aromas. 

The Brewery: Cantillon is a traditional lambic brewer and blender located in Anderlecht Brussels, founded in 1900 by Cantillon family. Since 1970, it is owned and led by Jean-Pierre Van Roy.

Origin: Lambic is a type of beer brewed in the Pajottenland region of Belgium southwest of Brussels. It is fermented through exposure to wild yeasts and bacteria. 

Food: This aristocratic beer is to beer what Mouton-Rothschild, Petrus or Romanée-Conti represent for wines. Like these jewels of taste, Lambic Grand Cru Bruocsella is not to be drunk but to be enjoyed as a tasting and can be served with the most refined dishes. It enhances all steamed dishes with its subtleties, discreetly emphasizes the taste of fish and shellfish, and supports the most fragrant deli meats with its robustness. It is fabulous as a counterpoint to sauerkraut.
