For this small batch of Druif, 3 Fonteinen worked with the renowned winemaker Jean-Pierre Robinot. For this field blend, they macerated destemmed grapes for six months on jonge lambik in a wooden barrel. The grapes underwent a short cold maceration just before. They used both Pinot D’Aunis (85%) and Chenin Blanc (15%) grapes (because Jean-Pierre said so), both typical to the Loire region. Afterwards, 3 Fonteinen blended with some two-year old lambik, rendering the weighted average age upon bottling to over 15 months. The final fruit intensity is 323 grams of grapes per litre of Druif. All grains used in the nine different lambikken were all sourced from Pajottenland.
