Bouchard Père & Fils Beaune Grèves Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus 1er Cru 2019

Bouchard Père et Fils, a highly-regarded producer in Burgundy, has established itself as a distinguished institution renowned for the exceptional quality of its wines and the diversity of its numerous vineyards. Among them is the Vigne de L'Enfants Jésus, whose name dates back to 1638 when Queen Anne of Austria gave birth to King Louis XIV.

It is said that Marguerite du Saint-Sacrement, the founding Carmelite of Domestiques de la Famille du Saint Enfant Jesus, predicted the birth of the long-awaited heir to the French throne, and the Camelite order celebrated by naming their prominent Beaune vineyard after him. The vineyard was once owned by the Carmelite order until the French Revolution, and Bouchard Père & Fils successfully bid for it in 1791 when all national property was sold.

It remains under their ownership today and is situated in the heart of the 32 hectares of the Beaune Grèves appellation, of which they still have the monopoly.
