Wine description
Like the birth of a butterfly, Papilou evokes the revelation of delicate bubbles upon opening the bottle. A cuvée crafted in harmony with Nature, a wine committed to farming that respects biodiversity and the protection of pollinators. A fresh, highly aromatic wine, to be enjoyed in good company!
Food & Wine pairings suggested by our chef
Best enjoyed between 8 and 10°C as an aperitif or to accompany seafood, fresh salads and mild cheeses. It also pairs well with light dishes such as ceviche or sushi, thanks to its vivacity and aromatic freshness.
Winemaking and ageing
The Chardonnay and Grenache Blanc grapes are carefully selected and then precisely pressed to obtain the heart of the press, the intermediate portion of the juice. This technique of extracting the intermediate juice produces a wine of outstanding quality, offering lightness, freshness and a crystalline brilliance.
The prise de mousse carried out in tank by fermentation preserves the natural expression of the grape varieties and the terroir.
The wine is then aged on lees to bring complexity and finesse to the bubbles.
Tasting note
The robe is a beautiful pale yellow colour with luminous highlights. The complex nose reveals delicate aromas of white-fleshed fruits, with floral and citrus notes that enhance its natural freshness. The palate is distinguished by its lightness and indulgence.
The fine bubbles bring a silky and invigorating texture.
The finish is clean and refreshing, marked by a beautiful vivacity.

Your questions about our wines
Each product page provides a food and wine pairing suggestion suited to the cuvée. Our online tasting assistant can also advise you based on your menu.
The ageing potential depends on the cuvée and vintage — it is specified in this wine's technical sheet. In general, our wines for ageing and fine wines can be kept for more than 10 years, or even over 100 years for our fortified sweet wines, whilst our lighter cuvées, intended to be enjoyed young, are best appreciated within 2 to 3 years of purchase.
The alcohol content (% vol.) varies by cuvée and vintage; it is listed in the product’s technical data sheet, below the description.
The majority of our red, white and rosé wines are dry. Our natural sweet wines (Rivesaltes, Maury...) and certain crémants are sweet or semi-dry. The style (dry/sweet) of this cuvée is specified in its description.
The grape varieties, appellation and terroir of origin are indicated in this product’s technical data sheet.
Like almost all wines, our cuvées contain sulphites (naturally present during fermentation, sometimes added in small quantities as a preservative). Details (“no added sulphites”, level, etc.) are specified on this product’s technical data sheet and on the back label.
Many Gérard Bertrand cuvées are vegan certified (100% plant-based fining agents, no products of animal origin). This wine’s vegan status is indicated in its certifications on the product page.

As a general rule: 8-10°C for rosés and light whites, 10-12°C for more complex whites, 16-18°C for reds. The most suitable serving temperature for this cuvée is also indicated on its technical sheet.
This depends on the wine and its age, as specified on the technical data sheet where relevant. As a general rule, our powerful age-worthy wines benefit from being decanted 30 minutes to 1 hour before tasting; lighter wines, whites and rosés can be served directly.
