Among the hidden gems of this bountiful region is undoubtedly this magnificent château near Lunéville. With superb service in both lodging and dining, a chef who has been at the helm for 25 years, and a guaranteed three-toque rating for premium ingredients that change with the seasons, it’s easy to see the direction local celebrations are taking. In the dining room, with its stylish decor and sweeping draperies, Cyril Leclerc puts beauty at the center of the plate, with goose foie gras, carabineros, and Petrossian caviar; Arctic char with crayfish and lovage; morels stuffed with vin jaune, Alsatian poultry, artichokes, black garlic, and rosemary. A seductive and effective palette, impeccable service, and a rich wine cellar, featuring selections from the east—Alsace—as well as the south, with the finest Burgundies.
