The Story

The name " Vigne de l'Enfant Jesus " refers to an old story. It is said that Marguerite du Saint Sacrement, the founding carmelite of the "Domestiques de la famille du Saint Enfant Jesus", predicted the birth of the king of France, Louis XIV, although her mother, Anne of Austria, was sterile. On the birth of the future "Roi Soleil", this exceptional vineyard which belonged to the Carmelites, took on the name "Vigne de l'Enfant Jesus". In 1791,...

Vintage 2019

“2019 is ‘the perfect storm’ of a vintage,” said Laurent Drouhin of top negociant house Drouhin, which owns vineyards in many parts of Burgundy. “We keep smiling because some wines will be great.” The mix included the hottest temperatures since the time of the Black Death 700 years ago (!), frost in April, rain in June, and no rain for nearly four months.

Written Notes

A famous Premier Cru, this is drinking like a dream even at this young stage. Spices, ripe fruits mostly from the red spectrum, cherries, and raspberries. There is depth, richness, and concertation, but all finely balanced throughout. Seamless, the palate exhibits notes of coffee beans, leather, and aniseed.

A long and ever-so-silky finish. Delicious now and any time over the next decade. Exhibiting less oak than the 2015, which is appreciated. 95.

Cask sample. Really quite a pale garnet. The most ethereal of these Bouchard Père et Fils Beaunes with soaraway perfume. Precise juicy fruit offering conviction and pleasure. Fine tannins on the end. Admirable energy and persistence here. Very elegant. Expresses all that is best about Beaune. Very neat and complete – though overall it's pretty sweet! Lively.
