Gueuze blend containing 4 YO lambic

Elderflower infused lambic

"Boon Geuze Mariage Parfait has an alcohol content of 8%. It consists of 95% mild lambic, aged at least three years and specially reserved for this purpose, and 5% young lambic. The latter provides the fermentable sugars and wild yeasts. After mixing in a vessel of 25,000 litres, the wort (unfermented mixture) is filtered and chilled. If we are bottling, we bring it back to fermentation temperature. The bottles are placed in a climate-controlled space for the secondary fermentation. This is followed by maturing at low temperature for at least 6 months. Want to know the bottling date? Simply subtract 20 years from the “best before” date!
The soft, mildly sour berry taste, harmonises with the oak barrels’ aromas in which Geuze Mariage Parfait has ripen. The body speaks of vanilla followed by a bitter aftertaste of cloves that becomes increasingly intense. Sublime."

Season 2023-2024 Assemblage #30. Bottled on 16/02/2024. "For this organic Druif, we blended three different grape lambikken, based on three typical grapes of the Languedoc: Carignan (20%), Grenache Noir (40%) and Syrah (40%). All grapes were picked at Domaine La Baronne. André and Suzette Lignères aim is to create intense yet balanced wines, safeguarding the biodiversity in their vineyards through low yields and biodynamic treatment of their vines. We applied a cold maceration on both the Carignan and Grenache grapes before continuing maceration on young lambik for a period of more than five months. All macerations happened on oak barrels. We blended with three-year old lambik, clocking the weighted average age of this grape lambik to more than 23 months. The final fruit proportion of the blend is 352 grams of grapes per litre of Druif. All grains of the 16 brews were sourced within our cereal collective and are all organic. 100% 3 Fonteinen."

Season 2023-2024 Assemblage #37. Bottled on 09/04/2024. Bottle Count 1824. "For this Druif, we macerated organic Roussanne grapes from Domaine La Baronne. This winery is situated in Corbières in Languedoc, in between Carcassonne and Narbonne. André and Suzette Lignères aim is to create intense yet balanced wines, safeguarding the biodiversity in their vineyards through low yields and biodynamic treatment of their vines. We macerated the full Roussanne grapes for more than eight months in an oak barrel. We then blended with some more four-year old lambik. The four-year old proportion makes up more than 60% of this fine grape lambik blend. The weighted average age upon bottling is therefore more than 31 months. The final fruit proportion is 307 grams of grapes per litre of Druif. 100% 3 Fonteinen."

As we used about 20% of four-year old lambik and a lot of two-year old lambikken, the weighted average age of this blend upon bottling was 24 months. Add to that another three
years of cellaring which brings the weighted age of this bottle to 50 months upon its release. More than 80% of the cereals used in the brews for this blend, were sourced from our own Pajottenland Cereal Collective. While blending, we added some honey from our own bee hives in our Schaarbeekse cherry field."

"Brewing is science, expertise, intuition, but sometimes also archival work. Our passion for tradition doesn't stop with the beer itself: every now and then we delve into history, searching for forgotten knowledge. We were recently reminded of a remarkable document from the State Archives of Brussels: an ordinance from 1559, drawn up by Remy Le Mercier, city treasurer of Halle. A piece that will undoubtedly cause a stir among connoisseurs.
The text specifies the correct grain ratios for local beers from that time. Today, the document is considered the oldest known recipe linked to lambic. What immediately stands out? The mention of oats. A grain rarely found in lambic today, but still legally permitted alongside 60% barley malt and 30% wheat. That beer recipes evolve over time is beyond dispute. Technology changes, and legislation also has an impact. And yet: Le Mercier's grain ratio is still remarkably close to what is the standard today.
Thanks to Remy Le Mercier, we know that lambic has been brewed since at least the 16th century. So we used his ordinance as a guide for an exclusive Oude Geuze. On February 22, 2024, we filled no fewer than 5,400 75cl bottles. With this Oude Geuze Remy Le Mercier, we prove that oats can indeed play a role in the production of Oude Geuze. The result: A soft, full-bodied Oude Geuze with a firm head and a clearly recognizable nutty oat flavor."

"To create the Roasted Oolong Tea Sparkling Infused Lambic, one-year-old Lambic was infused with roasted Oolong tea for about four weeks. This tea, especially popular in Asia, is slightly oxidised and was then roasted in the traditional way. This results in a rich flavour, with a certain spiciness and some toasted notes. Thanks to the re-fermentation in the bottle, these flavours blend into one harmonious whole."

Season 2022-2023, Assemblage #16. Bottled on 14/12/2022. "For this Kweepeer, we macerated organic quinces for about three months on some quite old lambik; more than 70% of the blend feature three- and four-year ol lambikken, coming from four different barrels and seven different brews. The weighted average age of this quince lambik upon bottling is more than 37 months. The final fruit intensity about 850 grams of quince per litre of Kweepeer. Of the cereals used for the brews, about one third was sourced in our own Cereal Collective. 100% 3 Fonteinen."

"This gueuze aged for an extra season in 250L cognac barrels.
Out of ten barrels, we selected only the five with the most pronounced cognac character.To develop complexity, we blended lambics from five different breweries.

The unique barrels enrich the Charent'euse with warm oak tones, a full body with depth, and subtle hints of vanilla. The lambic carries this character with robust elegance. The result is a rounded and fresh beer with
ageing potential — perfect with pâté, poultry, or hard cheeses. "

The first offical blend from Stekerij T`Pomphuizeke. Bottled in October 2024.

"For this blend, Ambreus, along with Jean-Pierre, Erik, Pieter-Jan, and Bastiaan, selected "10 Years" of Villa Servais, lambic from Lindemans, De Troch, and Den Herberg.
The blend is made from four 225-liter barrels: a barrel of 1-year-old lambic, a barrel of 2-year-old lambic, a barrel of 3-year-old lambic, and a barrel of 4-year-old lambic, totaling 10 years.
This lambic was matured in small barrels, which added depth and character from the wood.
In this old gueuze, you can taste the power of aging, just like in Villa Servais; the tartness of challenges, sweet successes, and the sparkle of innovation."

"The flavor is complex and full-bodied, like the music of François Servais.
Complex with an elegant acidity balance. Full-bodied with a firm head.
The aroma is slightly phenolic, with a hint of vanilla from the oak casks. Bottled on February 22, 2024.
Selected by Frank and Jos Boon for the "10 Years" Villa Servais.
15% Lambic from cask no. 48, and 15% from cask no. 145. 15% comes from cask no. 75, which was built in Antwerp in 1890.
55% Lambic from cask no. 68, which is also over 125 years old."

"Gueuze with a subtle sherry finish. An ode to the Halle cello virtuoso François Servais.
This old gueuze, matured in French oak barrels and finished in sherry casks, combines technique and passion in perfect harmony.
They were selected by Bart and Kloris Devillé for the "10 Years" of Villa Servais.
Just as Servais' cello sang between France and Spain, this gueuze blends acidity, minerality, and wood into a single, virtuoso symphony.
Not Villa today, but Sevilla Servais!"

"The Craft :
We macerated the mirabelles using our Boerenerf Double Maceration method: first 24 hours without lambic, then six weeks with young lambic, followed by a maceration on old lambic. Afterward, it underwent a three-month clarification period in foeder.

Experience :
Mirabelle plums are a specialty from Alsace — fresh and fruity with hints of almond. At Dettling Les Vergers in Westhoffen, you'll find local seasonal fruit. They pair well with soft cheeses, light poultry dishes, and almond or fruit-based desserts. They also shine in summer salads with arugula and walnuts. "

"Spontaneously fermented lambics, aged in oak barrels and macerated with Schaarbeekse cherries. Unfiltered beer with refermentation in the bottle."

"Kri-Vino was born from the encounter between two worlds: that of fruit wine and that of traditional lambic. We blend 70% cherry wine, made from three varieties of cherries, with 30% aged lambic matured in bourbon barrels. Note: Each bottle is unique, reflecting the year, the terroir, and the sunshine. Flavors vary from year to year, making each vintage impossible to replicate exactly."

"Blend of young and old lambics with maceration of locally picked schaarbeekse krieken."
