Founded in 1993, Cousin & Compagnie is one of the oldest independent wine cellars in Bordeaux and a pioneer in the introduction and commercialization of biodynamic and natural wines since the mid-2000s.
Firmly convinced that the preservation of our natural heritage also depends on vineyard and winery practices, at Cousin & Compagnie, 90% of our selection consists of organic, biodynamic, or natural wines from family estates or independent winemakers.
Visiting our Bordeaux cellar means discovering rare gems from all over France and abroad, whether they are Grand Crus or “friend wines.” A true cabinet of curiosities, Cousin & Compagnie can satisfy both novices and connoisseurs, as well as those seeking unique finds.

Surprisingly Insightful
I was actually surprised and impressed with the museum components of the Porte Cailhau. Not only was there some very good information on the history and use of the structure, but some wonderful interactive material on the history of the city of Bordeaux and how its layout and borders have changed over time. It really helped to give me a better sense of how everything was connected when exploring the old city. It's also fun to then go up the Flèche Saint-Michel and try to spot all the landmarks in relation to each other.

An amazing day in wine country
We had a wonderful day touring Graves and Saint Emilion with Gaspard! We visited three fantastic wineries and tasted an incredible selection of wines. We loved every winery we visited, but Clos Systey was our favorite. We enjoyed a picnic lunch there on a beautiful day surrounded by the vineyards. Gaspard was knowledgeable, friendly, and funny. As two people with little wine knowledge, we learned a lot while having a great time. We truly enjoyed spending the day with him and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Bordeaux!

Exceptional tour and guide
This was such a wonderful way to see the St-Emilion area and taste some great wines. We were fortunate to have Chloe as our guide, she was very knowledgeable, kind, fun and professional. The whole experience was so well organized and they made it easy to just relax and enjoy your day. I definitely will be returning to try some of their other tours. Highly recommend .

Bilingual tour
We found the bilingual tour problematic because there was more attention provided to the French participants than English. I think because it was a bilingual tour it was much harder for everyone to follow along. In future I would book a tour that was only in one language.
Answer from Office de Tourisme et des Congrès de Bordeaux Métropole
Dear Jennifer, we thank you for your feedback. We are aware that tours in a single language offer a more confortable experience to ours visitors and guides, we naturally organise them whenever we can. However it is not always possible, and to make them accessible to most people, we offer bilingual visits. We forward your comments to our guided tours department and hope that despite this aspect, you appreciated the contents of our tour. Best regards The Bordeaux tourist office team
