Domaine de Roncemay is a beautifully restored boutique retreat with just 19 stylishly renovated bedrooms. The dining here is a two-speed affair: the Bistro serves lunch, while the fine-dining restaurant takes over in the evenings, with tables on the terrace overlooking the golf course and château adding a memorable backdrop. The kitchens do full justice to both occasions.
The on-site golf course is an enjoyable and accessible layout — generous enough to let you relax and think about lunch. For those wanting more, the course at Domaine de Vaugouard is around 40 minutes away, and the vineyards of both Champagne and Burgundy are within an hour’s drive, opening up a very attractive two-centre option heading south.
An outdoor pool, tennis court and a Moroccan steam room mean there is no shortage of ways to fill the hours between rounds. The historic town of Auxerre is 20 minutes away when the urge to explore takes hold. With a spa, two restaurants, a pool, tennis and its own golf course, Domaine de Roncemay is one of those rare properties that a golf holiday in Champagne and Burgundy simply does not need to leave.
