3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze Cuvee Armand & Gaston Vintage 2020 Magnum

This is a serious, age-worthy gueuze from Brouwerij 3 Fonteinen, blended from 1, 2 and 3 year-old lambics drawn from six different brews and five barrels. The weighted average age on bottling reaches over five-and-a-half years (around 67 months), giving it remarkable depth. 

On the nose there’s an elegant mix of wild funk, hay, green apple, lemon zest, a touch of oak and soft peppery spice. The palate is dry and structured, with briny, citrus-led acidity, subtle barnyard notes, a hint of honeyed warmth and a long, crisp finish.

The 1.5 L format promotes even slower maturation and makes this a great bottle for cellaring, or sharing on a special occasion.
