Ô Joie et Fleurs des Champs : les deux nouvelles cuvées

Deux nouvelles cuvées sortent cette semaine au Château des Moriers. Pour ceux qui ne le savent pas, c'est le vignoble de notre famille, en Beaujolais. Elles vont intégrer la sélection des Fleuries de Vicky qui existe depuis maintenant 10 ans. Confinées en cuve pendant la quarantaine, elles seront prêtes à s'envoler dès le 11 mai. Il faut dire que ça fait un an qu'elles sont...

Avec ou sans filtre ? Votre limite.

je lisais un dossier du Monde sur la tyrannie du filtre et quelque chose m'a frappée. Première chose, les filles choisies étaient déjà jolies, pourquoi donc utiliser un filtre ? Ensuite, comment est-ce qu'on pouvait se refaire un visage, se montrer plus beau que nature, et en même temps boire ce vin nature ? Deux idées fondamentalement opposées qui co-habitent tranquillement au top des tendances....

Harpers Global Design Awards (Wine Range, Bronze)

Il y a quelques mois, j’ai entré les vins de Vicky au concours Harpers Global Design Awards 2014 organisé par le magazine britannique Harpers. C’était juste au moment où je remettais en question le design de ma marque prête à intégrer de nouvelles idées. Je ne participe pas à beaucoup de compétitions, le manque de temps en est la raison principale. Mais on trouve toujours...

1/2 – Tendance Printemps Ete 2010 – Wine and Fun Events in PARIS

Besides the Vicky Wine Tastings :) I have discovered other great wine fun nights opportunites in Paris.Their invite are usually very appealing and after you had experiment one, you always want to come back a second time. Which is great because they are like fashion collections, they scarcely come by one but more like a serie, declined in different spaces with a different wine selection each new time. Here is what I consider Top of the Top of wine events in Paris: Why? Because they have this 'je ne sais quoi' that makes the difference. A fun spirit, great places to meet people, super locations overall. And there you find ways to learn about wine and meet people that can...

Vicky’s Pink Selection 2010

As the trend goes, because I love pink and style, I've decided to treat my favourite wine tasters with some of the top actual rosé. First the selection, how to pick 10 rosés on the market?  Not to say that I tried a hundred, the delicious "LE PLAISIR Rosé" from Mas Amiel for instance, didn't make it to the Indian Restaurant neither the good pink beaujolais but the summer has not started yet ;). While waiting, I received some of the top of Provence and hanged around wine shops for a few good looking bottles. It is common to say that the style of the bottle often hides the bad quality of the wine... So in black they were all...

Fashion Pink Trend is to be taken Seriously

AH ! The sun is back, Yes ! Let's talk about Rosé ! Rosé has long been considered like the garbage of wines, with little consideration from wine professionals. "It's a wine for women" you can hear or "Rosé you said? Let's talk about wine !". But everything must start one day and not so slowly, for your summer time and all year long, rosé is becoming a trend. Number talk by themselves,  rosé has the highest sale rise amongst other wines in France today. YES! Rosé is lucky to be democratised. You are not ashamed of picking a rosé without knowing about it and in our habits, it can easily replace a refreshing beer. That is maybe why it...
