Description from the seller
Beaune 1er Cru Grèves - Vigne de l'Enfant Jésus Bouchard Pères & Fils 1988
Created in 1731, the Maison Bouchard Pères et Fils has throughout its history formed one of the most beautiful vineyards in Burgundy, by buying vines on the best terroirs. In 1811, the company name "Bouchard Père et Fils" was formalized; throughout the 19th century, acquisitions continued and in the 20th century, the Bouchards focused more on exploiting their estate than on expanding it. From 1969, the policy of selective purchases resumed. In 1995, the Bouchard family handed the baton to another historic family, this time from Champagne: the Maison de Champagne Henriot. The new team took charge of the vineyard's fate and completely regenerated the house, even in the style of the wines.
Recently, in 2022, the family’s heritage holding company bought the house. In recent years, its reputation has continually risen and it ranks among the best Burgundian négociants; some of its wines have even managed to establish themselves as among the greatest in its entire history. The vineyard covers 130 hectares (and as much in grape purchases), including 12 hectares of Grands Crus and 74 hectares of Premiers Crus. With nearly 50 hectares spread over 23 climats, Bouchard Père & Fils has for several generations been the largest owner in Beaune Premier Cru.

About the cuvée
According to legend, Marguerite of the Blessed Sacrament, a Carmelite founder of "the Family of Servants of the Child Jesus," would have prayed that Queen Anne of Austria grant a dolphin to France and would have predicted the birth of Louis XIV — the future Sun King. Consequently, this terroir located in the heart of the appellation "Les Grèves" bears the name of "the Child Jesus." The Carmelites operated this vineyard until the confiscation of church properties during the Revolution. This 1er cru is now one of the flagship wines of Maison Bouchard Père & Fils, the sole proprietor of the few hectares of this famous red premier cru among the wines of Beaune. It surpasses many grands crus in its aging potential.
At tasting, it presents a true aromatic bouquet with notes of red fruits and spices that caress the palate. Delicate and voluptuous, this cuvée will pair perfectly with small game birds or other red meats in sauce.
Created in 1731, the Maison Bouchard Père et Fils has throughout its history constituted one of the most beautiful vineyards in Burgundy, by buying vines on the best terroirs.

Recently, in 2022, the Pinault Family's heritage holding company bought the house.

Therefore, this terroir located in the heart of the "Les Grèves" appellation is called "the Child Jesus." The Carmelites exploited this vineyard until the confiscation of church property during the Revolution. This 1er cru is now one of the flagship wines of Maison Bouchard Père & Fils, the sole owner of the four or so hectares of this premier red cru so famous among Beaune wines. It surpasses many grands crus in its ability to age with grace.
At tasting, it offers a true aromatic bouquet with the scents of red fruits and spices that caress the palate. Delicate and voluptuous, this vintage will pair perfectly with small game birds, or other red meats in sauce.
