Description

Domaine Henri Milan Papillon Blanc 2022

Papillon White is, like all the Papillon range of Henri Milan, without added sulphur and the vineyard is managed in organic and biodynamic agriculture. The wine is aged in old barrels, but not filtered or fined.

Grape Varietals & Regions: Papillon blanc is a blend of Grenache Blanc, Rolle, Roussanne and Marsanne grown organically. The vines over 25 years old are organically grown. The terroir is made up of clay soils with limestone scree, on blue marl subsoil, in the Baux de Provence appellation area.

Taste Profile: Aromatic apricot & peach. Airy, lively and with a slightly mineral finish, Henri Milan wanted to create a festive white wine with simplicity

Winemaking Process: Direct pressing, fermentation in concrete vats with native yeasts and no added sulphur. Aged in old barrels. No fining or filtration.
