Cave Papillon - Wenger Charly - Salquenen

About the winery

At the start of the year 2000, the third generation, Charly and Patrick Wenger, took over the management and running of Cave Papillon. 

Their family exclusively tends to and cultivates all three hectares of vines themselves. The steep slopes, terraced by dry-stone walls, require intensive manual labour, though the advantage is that each vine is worked individually. 

Tradition combined with innovation and the constant quest for quality are their ticket to the future. They invite you to raise your glass with them and discover the miracle of wine.
