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.

An awesome day in Bordeaux
I live in the USA and when looking online there were so many tours to choose from and so many reviews, the number of tours and offers were overwhelming.
I was expecting to stay in Bordeaux for 4 days and after my initial research it was clear that I needed to define what I wanted from the tour. So I decided I would just do one tour and it would be a full day. Then I figured that I should concentrate in one region and not try “to do Bordeaux”. The write-ups and reports of St Emillion captured my attention and I decided to just take one wine tour but make it an all day tour and in one region so I am not wasting time traveling form one place to another… some tours offered left and right bank in the same day, which I thought would waste valuable relaxing/vacation time.
Another consideration was that I did not want to be cramming in the tastings or start drinking wine immediately after my breakfast! This particular tour first visited the village and then tastings did not start until close to noon and of course just before lunch.
So this became the perfect day with the perfect host, Hugo. He was knowledgeable and very sensitive to the needs of his tour guests. The wines we tried were awesome and all the producers were very amiable and of course knowledgeable about their own products, as was Hugo. There was certainly no snobbery just a group of people visiting Chateaux and enjoying delicious wine.
I highly recommend this company and this particular tour if you want to take in great scenery, taste delicious wine and relax, eating local cuisine which was provided as part of the tour.

If you are considering it, do it!!!
I had the best day with Bordeaux Wine Trails! Our guide was very informative, approachable and friendly, spoke fluent English and gave us an excellent all round experience. The minibus was spacious, air conditioned (extremely welcome during this heatwave!) and safe and modern. We experienced 3 different vineyards, all picturesque and full of history, welcomed and given a guided tour by the vineyard hosts. All vineyards were generous with their wine and we enjoyed plenty of tastings, plus a delightful lunch. St Emilion itself was beautiful to walk around and I especially enjoyed visiting the caves as part of the tour! I would certainly recommend this full day trip, if you like wine and are considering this tour, just book it, you won’t regret it!

Really good experience!
This was a really good experience. We went on the first train of the day at 10.15am. Our train had spare places so we had plenty of room. Our driver was very pleasant and helpful. We liked that the commentary matched exactly where we were on the tour and there was plenty of interesting information which was helpful when we then did a walking tour of the key sights on our own. Would definitely recommend for interest and value.
