Description
This cuvée is named after the green clay found in Cuisles. The soil here is quite shallow. It contains a high percentage of well-drained marly limestone and always a thick layer of green clay, called 'ILLITE' in pedology. In times of prolonged drought, during the summer months, illite is the only soil type that retains its moisture. The fineness and purity of this green clay ensure that there is always enough water for the grapes.
