la g.
Only for friends
Sometimes things happen which no one ever planned
Sometimes you find unique opportunities and you have simply no choice – you have to do it
Sometimes it turns out to be better than your wildest imagination…
In the first vintage of the new cellar in 2010 one concept barrel turned out to be very different and unique probably due to the extreme vineyard and winemaking practices. Gregor decided to release this wine in December 2012 as „la g.“ 2010. The wine was within 2 days allocated to the partners of LPR-Collection in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. „la g.“ will be always one 225l barrique and is therefore limited to 252 bottles of 750ml and 18 x 1,5l magnums.
„la g.“ 2010 Sold out !
A unique blend of 50% Saigner de Grenache from 40 years old vines blended with 30% of 120 years old vines of white Grenache and spiced up with 20% of very concentrated Shiraz. The crop was lower than two bunches per vine. Diva Viticulture came up to 90%. The very late harvest was hand de-stemmed directly in the vineyards. The white Grenache was crushed and pressed by hand. The wine passed vinification integrale and to secure full harmony, the maturation took place in 200% new 225 litre French oak barrels from Darnajou for 26 months. Bottling was done by hand, without any filtration. Drink till 2040. Alc. 15%, TA 3,7, RS 3,2
Recommended glass: Riedel Sommelier Grand Cru Burgundy.

Dieser Wein zeigt das Kreativität und Hochgenuss in Sachen Wein definitiv einher gehen. Es ist das letzte Puzzelteil von Gregor Drescher, mit dem er beweist, zu
welch fantastischem Ergebnis man kommt, wenn man Weine extremer Qualität erzeugt. Sicher stellt es sich selbst für den gestandenen Weintrinker und auch für jeden Kenner von Spitzenweinen als äußerst verrückt dar, die einzelnen Rebsorten so zu kombinieren aber schon der erste Test von Nase und Gaumen sorgen dafür das man immer noch etwas mehr haben MUSS. Jeder meiner Gäste ist am Anfang immer etwas zögerlich wenn man ihm den Wein vorstellt aber wie gesagt, der Wein und der Name La Petite Révolution sprechen am Ende zu 100% für sich. Ich würde mir wünschen manchmal mehr Wein von diesem Kaliber im Haus zu haben, aber leider zahlt man oft nur den Namen und weniger den Wein, um den es eigentlich immer gehen sollte.Marcel Hirt

„la g.“ 2014 Sold out !
„La g. shows how great winemaking can meet the art of design. is is the story of a masterpiece loaded with plenty of character made by La Petite Révolution in cooperation with the graphic artist Johannes Maximilian Müller. It starts with seductive games of aromas in the nose. Dried strawberries and candied figs, overripe plums and cherry going on with a sensual combination of lavender, rosemary and carnations. Elegant and balanced acidity with strong tannins support the structure. Hints of dark chocolate, Bourbon-Vanilla, cigars and graphite in the finish completing this wine to an unforgettable experience.”
