Sustainable commitments

L'équipe de Cousin & Compagnie nous illustre l'engagement éco-responsable de l'entreprise: "Cousin & Compagnie, fondée en 1993, est une des premières caves de Bordeaux à avoir introduit des vins issus de la biodynamie et de vinifications naturelles dès le début des années 2000.Notre gamme est spécialisée à 95% dans les vins biologiques, biodynamiques et naturels. Nous accordons beaucoup d’importance aux pratiques à la vigne et au chai de tous les vignerons avec qui nous travaillons, pour la majorité engagée dans des démarches de respect de l’environnement, des Hommes et du Terroir. Toutes nos livraisons sont effectuées en triporteur, le plastique est banni au maximum, nous recherchons des solutions moins consommatrices d’énergie pour nos matières sèches et équipement électrique. Enfin, il y a 2 ans nous avons stoppé toutes nos importations par cargo et privilégions donc les vins Européens."

Cousin & Compagnie est également labellisé Éco-Défis édition 2022. La marque valorise les entreprises qui mettent en place des actions concrètes en faveur de l’environnement autour de 7 thématiques : déchets, emballages, énergie, transport, eau, produits et sociétal-durable.

The old wines were not so old

Arndís Bragadóttir 07/03/2024

The wines and food were good, but these are not 20-60 year old wines like it says in the brochure and ad. Most of them were just around 15 year old or younger than 15 years. That was disappointment because I had expected to taste wines up to 60 year old like it said in the ad.
