Le Clos de Jeanne is a gently sloping single parcel that faces East. It is located between the house of Domaine Ferret and the village church. This vineyard, the smallest among those that produce the Têtes de Cru and Hors Classe cuvées, covers 0.64 hectares in the backyard of the domaine.
Since 2020 vintage and the Premiers Crus arrival in our appellation, this wine, situated in the heart of 1er Cru "Les Perrières", change his name in honor of Jeanne Ferret's mind. The plot is still the same.
