Cyril Chappellet: The Napa Valley Winery That Will Not Sell

Offers to buy Chappellet? The family has said no, and CEO Cyril Chappellet explains why the land is worth more than the income it earns. Cyril Chappellet, CEO and Chairman of Chappellet, talks with Matt Weiss about Robert Mondavi's party line call, Napa's five First Growths, why 100-point scores are not the goal, and what it costs to stay family owned in Napa Valley. Chappellet was founded on Pritchard Hill in 1967 by Donn and Molly Chappellet. It was the second winery established in the Napa Valley after Prohibition.
