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.

"La Favorite" is a parcel selection of Mercurey 1er Cru "Le Clos du Roy" from vines located on the south-east facing hillside.
Wine from a single vine belonging to Domaine Olivier Leflaive, planted in 1955. Who better than this plot to evoke the terroir of Puligny-Montrachet? The land is light and stony, the small water sources prevent it from suffering in summer. Wine of great refinement.
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.
