Anecdotes about the domain
"Everyone tells me that my wines are feminine, and it's true, but they are also very much appreciated by men!" The wines of Domaine Papillon are exported to Mexico thanks to Philippe, an expatriate friend, who introduces his native Mâcon terroir to his adopted country." "I imagined the Cuvée Matéo for my son. I wanted to create a singular wine, like him. So I chose to age it in oak barrels. The 2017 vintage received the silver medal at the Concours Mondial des Vins Féminalise 2019, a great award."
