The name "Vigne de l’Enfant Jesus" refers to a historical anecdote. It is said that Marguerite du Saint- Sacrement, founding Carmelite of the Servants of the Family of the Holy Child Jesus, predicted the birth of King Louis XIV of France while her mother Anne d’Autriche was sterile. At the birth of the future « Roi Soleil », this exceptional vineyard belonging to the Carmelites took the name of "Vigne de l’Enfant Jesus". In 1791, during the sale of national properties, Maison Bouchard Père & Fils acquired the plot, located in the heart of the 32 hectares of the Beaune Grèves appellation. It still has a monopoly on it today.

The wine is rich, fatty and generous from the attack with notes of red fruits and ripe black fruits. Very round and silky, with supple and tender tannins. This is the very image of the style of Volnay wines. Cave Privée Edition of only 120 bottles.
A few steps from the Grands Crus, the premier cru Clos Prieur rivals in finesse and grace with their prestigious cousins. This is one of the oldest terroirs in the estate with only 40 acres.
Volnay Clos des Santenots 1er Cru is a 1.19 hectare plot, a monopoly of Domaine Jacques Prieur. This unique terroir is located in the heart of the Santenots du Milieu, on brown soil, rich in manganese, resting on hard limestone, rounded like pierced stones.
Located in the south-west of the village, this climat en Monopole was purchased by the estate in 2003 after a fifty-year lease. It is the smallest appellation in Burgundy - even smaller than Romanée-Conti.
The first traces of vineyards in the town of Aloxe-Corton date back to the 2nd century BC. Later, Corton will be Charlemagne's favorite wine. Unique red Grand Cru of the Côte de Beaune, Corton is also the only Grand Cru of Côte d'Or to be divided into sub-climates. "Le Corton" designates the historic parcel that gave its name to the Corton appellation.
