The Papillon House, operated by François Longueteau, owes its reputation to its exceptional know-how and its high standards in the elaboration of its rums, while knowing how to offer products that are accessible to both amateurs and connoisseurs.
The Longueteau House has gradually built up an excellent reputation in the Guadeloupean rum sector, producing some of the best vintages representative of this region.
A family and independent operation, founded in 1895...
This year, it has launched a daring enterprise: to popularize agricultural rums, by delivering a "fun" and modern version of them accessible to all in supermarkets. The Papillon brand is the result of this innovative experiment.
We discover here the second reference: after the white rum, here is the amber rum! Papillon Freespirit, is its name, which refers to the nickname given to the island of Guadeloupe.
The nose evokes scents of citrus fruits, in particular orange, accompanied by spices such as cinnamon or star anise. In the palate, we find these same flavors, completed by a greedy vanilla.
A very good amber rum, as only Longueteau has the secret, presented in a bottle with a pure, colorful and original design!

This time, the brand takes us to Jamaica to discover a very old VSOP rum. This creation from the Worthy Park distillery was aged for 4 years in Bourbon casks before being transported to the Cognac region for an additional six months of maturation in the brand’s cellars in Chevanceaux. This cuvée has thus undergone double aging, first in a tropical climate and then in a continental one.
