The name "Vigne de l'Enfant Jesus" refers to an old story. It is said that Margaret of the Blessed Sacrament, a Carmelite nun of Beaune (1619-1648) and founder of the convent "Domestiques de la famille du Saint Enfant Jesus", predicted the birth of the King of France, Louis XIV. On the day of the birth of the future "Sun King", this very unique vineyard, which belonged to the monastery, took the name "Vigne de L'Enfant Jesus". In 1791, when all the national property was sold, Bouchard Pere et Fils bought 10 hectares of land, located in the heart of Beaune Greves.
