The adventure begins on the vine-bordered roads winding through the heart of Champagne. First stop: Chavot-Courcourt, a charming hilltop village overlooking the Côte des Blancs. There, a winegrower welcomes you for an intimate visit, sharing the family story with passion, traditions passed down through generations and the secrets of their winemaking. The experience peaks with a sabrage in the open air, followed by a tasting where each cuvée reveals the full character of its terroir. Back in the 2CV, the road leads to the hillsides of Hautvillers. In the shade of century-old oaks overlooking the Marne valley, it’s the perfect spot to savour a picnic prepared by Chef Nawal Rezagui, made entirely with local, seasonal produce. Take a few moments to breathe, contemplate, and embrace the silence. After this communion with nature, explore the flower-lined streets of Hautvillers. Here, every winegrower's house tells a story. The village abbey holds the memory of Dom Pérignon, an emblematic figure of the region. Along the way, several producers committed to organic farming open their doors. Their champagne is crafted using ancestral methods, with native fruit yeasts, in harmony with nature. To continue your journey, head to Fleury-la-Rivière and visit La Cave aux Coquillages, a unique Champagne site, halfway between a paleontology museum and a wine adventure, brought to life by its passionate owner. Back at the hotel, relax in the garden with a signature cocktail created by Head Bartender Jerry. The last rays of sunlight slowly fade behind the vines before disappearing on the horizon.
"The Briqueterie captures the gentle way of life of Champagne. Here, every moment is savoured like a suspended bubble. A rare warmth that turns a house into a memory."
