Gerard and Nathalie Cuisset settled into Château les Miaudoux in 1986. The densely planted vineyard is located on the sunny slopes in the Saussignac appellation area.

They pay particular attention to the environment because they have chosen to convert their vineyard into an organic agricultural exploitation.

Since their settling in, their efforts have been directed at creating exceptional wines, starting with:
* mastering vine growing: working the soil, organic cultivation
* achieving limited yields: removing excess buds, green harvesting
* carefully harvesting and selecting grapes: removing excess foliage, hand-picking and sorting


 

At the moment of wine-making, our land gives birth to original, authentic wines whose type and quality are noticeable.

* for Dry, Rosé, and Mœlleux: pellicular maceration, temperature control, ageing on fine dregs.

* oak-barrel vintages: harvesting highly ripe grapes and selecting the harvest according to its aptitude for ageing, maturing in new barrels 10 months for dry wines, 12 months for red wines.

* Saussignac: harvesting by hand with successive sorting in order to pick the best botrytis, fermentation and ageing in barrels for 16 to 18 months. A third of the barrels are replaced each year.
