Antonin Bouchard bought only one parcel located in "Cent Vignes" and another in "Avaux" as they bordered his estate. However, he refused to buy what was left of Domaine Edmond Naigeon, the latter offering him all the Beaune vineyards he had inherited from his parents, Philibert Naigeon and Françoise Champy.
