Saint Lamvinus

◎ Appearance

Deep bordeaux red with garnet highlights, brilliant and clear. The head is modest but persistent, leaving delicate lacing on the glass walls. Carbonation is gentle, appropriate to the style's restrained nature.

◌ Aroma

Intense dark fruit character dominates—blackcurrant, plum, and black cherry—underscored by wine-like tannin notes from extended maceration with Merlot. Subtle vinous complexity emerges behind the fruit, with earthy undertones and a whisper of oak-derived spice.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied entry carries concentrated dark fruit and sour cherry, with dry tannins building mid-palate. The lambic's characteristic acidity plays against the grape's phenolic structure, creating a long, taut finish. Complexity deepens as it warms, revealing layers of dried fruit and vinous depth.

◑ Finish

Extended and dry, with lingering tannin and acidity that holds without becoming harsh. The aftertaste echoes dark fruit and subtle earthiness, reminiscent of a light red wine.
