The Story Behind "Vigne de l'Enfant Jesus"
The name "Vigne de l'Enfant Jesus" (Vine of the Infant Jesus) dates back to the 17th century. According to legend, Marguerite du Saint Sacrement, a Carmelite nun, predicted the birth of Louis XIV—France’s Sun King—despite his mother, Anne of Austria, being thought barren. In honour of this miracle, the Carmelites named their finest vineyard in Beaune “Vigne de l’Enfant Jesus”. In 1791, following the French Revolution, Bouchard Père & Fils acquired this extraordinary plot and retains exclusive ownership to this day.

| Winery | The name, which translates as “Vine of Baby Jesus”, refers to an old story. It is said that Marguerite du Saint-Sacrement, Carmelite founder of the “domestiques de la Famille du Saint Enfant Jesus”, predicted the birth of King Louis XIV of France. However, his mother, Anne of Austria, was barren. Nine months after the prediction, on 5 September 1638, the future Louis XIV was born. The reputation of Marguerite du Saint-Sacrement then spread throughout the land, and donations were poured in. In this atmosphere of fervent giving, the Carmelites received a renowned vineyard named “Vigne de l’Enfant-Jesus” (Vine of Baby Jesus). EXPOSITION: East-Southeast |
