The la Guillotine is limited to a barrique per year and is based mainly on the Grenache grape. Here, of course, the same high standard applies to the other Petite Revolution wines, such as 200% new barriques and minimal yields of highly ripe grapes. It is the most charming wine in the collection, early drinkable, yet profound, enormously concentrated and with an immense length in the finale. Gregor Drescher made a great Guillotine in 2016. Perfect maturity with best balance, which occupies the palate for minutes and always shows tension and grip. This is probably the best la guillotine ever produced since its premiere in 2010.

Producer Information

Cave de La Petite Rvolution: “Where can you find perfect conditions to make a great French wine, with the precision of Bordeaux, the uniqueness of Burgundy and the power of Chteauneuf-du-Pape? For this demanding project we conducted a long and complex research and identified parcels in the Var region between Draguignan and Fayence that displayed a very special terroir and found some old, magnificent vines. Quality Accepts No Compromise. Therefore our innovative vineyard concept called Diva Viticulture reduces the yields per plant from traditional 2-3 kg down to less than 250 g. This radical and expensive approach leads to a very high and long lasting aroma concentration. For the winemaking we use an ancient wine cellar from the 17th century, Cave de La Petite Revolution. It was carefully restored and brought back into the traditional methods of producing wine. This micro cellar, with a maximum capacity of only 6 barriques per vintage, is located in the ancient centre of the romantic village of Roquebrune sur Argens. In a classic year, solely two barrels are dedicated for the Grand Vin Visionnaire and lAttention des Divins, two barrels for the wild brother Salaux and one barrel for la g., our Enfant Terrible”
