Beats Vines and Life Green Acres. Why Phillipe & Catherine Pascal Gave Up A Life of Luxury to Pursue Their Vigneron Dreams.
On this episode of The Black Wine Guy Experience, I talk with former LVMH CEO turned Vigneron Philliope Pascal. Following a successful career in the luxury goods industry, Pascal and his wife Catherine have focused on restoring the historic Domaine Cellier aux Moines in Givry. The Domaine has been producing wine for 9 centuries in the heart of Burgundy.
We discuss how climate change affects winemaking, the importance of diversity in vineyards, and the challenges of switching to organic and biodynamic practices. Phillipe shares his experiences finding the right team to commit to these practices and how they have approached making small-batch wines from select parts of their vineyard.
This episode is loaded with many life lessons beyond the luxury goods and fine wine industries. Grab a glass of Red or White Burgundy and enjoy!
A massive Thank You to Phillipe Pascal!
