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.

Well worth taking this trip - guide is an absolute star!
Bordeaux is a wonderful city. We contemplated taking a free tour but so pleased we booked this tour through the tourist office. Bruno, our guide, was excellent - he’s very distinguished, very engaging, very informative and seems to know everyone! We certainly found out far more than if we’d walked around on our own e.g. We were shown the Utopia cinema/cafe where we later revisited for an excellent lunch. We would never have known about it without the tour. Thank you Bruno!

Very convenient
It would be nice if the app functioned as the pass instead of having to go to the tourism office to pick up a card, but it’s a small complaint. The card is tremendously convenient and practically everything one wants to do as a tourist is included. The included guided tour is a big plus.

Brilliant
Was a small personal group so got to learn lots about how the wine is grown, produced and the classification system of the wines. We got to taste the wines and also learned the history of Saint-Émilion which was fascinating. The village is really worth another longer visit. Thank you

tour "Le origini" al Castello di Balestar La Tonnelle
Nous avons effectué notre visite hier à 16h30 avec Audry, et c’est avec beaucoup d’enthousiasme que nous partageons notre expérience.
Audry a été à la fois très professionnelle, chaleureuse et accueillante. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié sa capacité à mener la visite en alternant naturellement entre le français et l’anglais, puisque mon mari ne parle pas français. Une attention qui nous a permis de profiter pleinement de chaque explication.
Le domaine est magnifique, riche d’histoire et de charme. Les lieux sont parfaitement entretenus, très propres, soigneusement conservés, tout en étant en constante évolution et rénovation.
La dégustation était très bien pensée, autour de trois vins de gammes et de valeurs différentes, ce qui nous a permis d’en apprécier les particularités et les nuances. Audry a été absolument adorable tout au long de la dégustation, nous guidant avec compétence et passion et répondant à toutes nos questions.
À la fin de cette visite privée, nous avons eu le plaisir d’acheter l’une des bouteilles dégustées ainsi qu’un joli souvenir représentant leur étiquette en bois.
Il s’agissait de notre première et unique visite-dégustation dans un domaine viticole français pendant notre voyage en France, et nous n’aurions pas pu faire meilleur choix.
Une expérience authentique, élégante et chaleureuse dont nous garderons un excellent souvenir. Nous recommandons cette visite sans hésitation !
