About this video
Philippe Guigal joined Wine Spectator Senior Editor James Molesworth for a very candid Instagram Live interview on Tuesday, April 7, 2020. Together, they discussed the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic is having on the Guigal’s business at the winery and with sales globally. They covered the topic of the 25% wine tariffs in the U.S. market as well.
By this time, ordinarily Molesworth would have visited Philippe in the Rhone to taste the 2019 vintage, but instead he listened as Philippe told him about the wines.
Listen to the full 15 minute video to hear what else Philippe had to say about their estate in Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Château de Nalys, the frost that has damaged some of the fruit for the 2020 vintage, and how his family is handling the pandemic.
