Characteristics
This cuvée takes its name from the green clay in our soils. Our shallow soils are composed of highly draining limestone marl, crossed by a thick vein of green clay, known in pedology as “Illite”.
During long periods of summer drought, green clay is the only soil capable of retaining moisture.The finesse and purity of this clay ensure a steady supply of water to the grapes, giving the wine its unique character.
Parcel selection is concentrated on the best green clay soils.
