Fleurie 'Ô Joie' Les Vins de Vicky 2023

The Fleurie “Ô Joie” Les Vins de Vicky Château des Moriers is a young and carefree interpretation of the Beaujolais wine tradition. It is a red made from the Gamay grape, a spontaneous cross between Pinot and Gouais Blanc, which has found the ideal conditions in these lands to express itself at excellent levels. In the Fleurie area, in particular, it produces particularly refined wines, thanks to a floral profile that is a true hallmark of this prized terroir. Its delicacy and genuine, immediate character make it a perfect bottle to enjoy during an informal dinner with friends.

“Ô Joie” Fleurie Les Vins de Vicky comes to life in the estate of Château des Moriers, a historic property of 9 hectares, with vineyards concentrated in two particularly prestigious areas of the Beaujolais region: Fleurie and Moulin-à-Vent. In respect of the territory and following the best environmental sustainability practices, the vineyards are managed under organic farming, using only sulfur and copper. The soils are poor and well-draining, originating from the weathering of pink granite rocks. Thanks to a particularly mild climate, the Gamay grape reaches excellent quality ripeness. The winemaking takes place through the whole cluster carbonic maceration process, according to local customs, aiming to enhance the fruity aromas of the grape. The wine matures for several months in steel tanks, except for a small portion (20%) that ages in used 400-liter French oak barrels.

The Fleurie “Ô Joie” Les Vins de Vicky from Château des Moriers represents the young and fragrant face of the prized Fleurie terroir and its flagship grape: Gamay. In the glass, it presents a beautiful bright and lively ruby red. The aromatic profile seduces with very intense fruity aromas, reminiscent of marasca, red currant, ripe strawberries, raspberry, floral hints of iris and violet, notes of aromatic herbs, and delicate spicy sensations. On the palate, its clear fruity exuberance, its ripe and juicy aromas, and its refined and silky tannins impress, leading towards a fresh and pleasantly persistent finish.
