Hostellerie Briqueterie
Refined French country house with a contemporary interior refresh. Warm, family-run feel despite the five-star credentials. Not flashy — think vintage touches, works by young artists, wooden furniture, and natural light. The kind of place where you genuinely slow down.
The Bistrot is open Monday and Tuesday when Alcôve is closed — don't assume you can eat à la carte every night at the gourmet table.
Why It Matters
One of the Champagne region's most established Relais & Châteaux properties (member since 2006), with a freshly minted Michelin star (2026) and a location that puts the great Épernay houses — Moët, Pol Roger, Perrier-Jouët — a 10-minute drive away. The 2024 full renovation brought the rooms and Spa by CODAGE up to a level that matches the gastronomy.
A 5-star Relais & Châteaux country house in Vinay, just 10 minutes from Épernay and 90 minutes from Paris. Completely renovated in early 2024, the ivy-clad property sits within four hectares of grounds — herb garden, rose garden, orchard, and all — overlooking Coteaux Champenois vineyards. The restaurant Alcôve earned its first Michelin star in 2026 under Moroccan-born chef Nawal Rezagui, which puts this firmly on the culinary map as much as the wine map.
