If you’ve been quietly tracking your clients’ growing appetite for immersive wine travel, this one is worth flagging. Michel Reybier Hospitality has acquired Château de Sacy, an intimate 12-room property set above the village of Sacy on the Montagne de Reims, UNESCO World Heritage territory, and some of the most prized pinot noir country in the Champagne region.
The château itself is not a new discovery to those paying attention. The 1850 Napoleon III-era property has been praised for years for its individually styled rooms (the Winston Churchill suite, with its British army map of Champagne during World War II, is particularly memorable), white marble bathrooms, and a restaurant that embraces the local beverage as a food wine rather than a party drink.
For Reybier, the acquisition is a logical next move. The group already has deep roots in the region through their eponymous Champagne house and the Jeeper brand; Château de Sacy now offers guests a place to actually stay and sink in.
The property joins a French portfolio that includes La Réserve Paris, La Maison d’Estournel in the Médoc, and La Réserve Ramatuelle, which reopens May 1 for the summer season.
