David Papillon is French, a winemaker and a sommelier.
Papillon means butterfly – that’s why we chose this logo.
We make wine using the methods he learned in France. David first studied as sommelier. He worked in France and Switzerland as a sommelier in Michelin restaurants, where he came into contact with winemakers and wanted to learn more about their work.
Then he went to Australia, where he worked in large wineries, but he didn’t like the fact that wine was made according to a “recipe” with a lot of additives. That’s why he returned to France where he studied winemaking.
At the same time, he worked and gained experience with small winemakers who made wine without additives, organically and biodynamically in the Loire Valley and in Roussillon.
