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.

A Long Day - but worth it!
Enjoyed a long but delightful day exploring the Bordeaux wine region with our guide, Daniel.
First stop - a wine shop and tasting of five wines. The shop owner asks everyone to rank the top two at the end of the trip and we were shocked we all chose the least expensive!
Second Stop - small vineyard right outside Saint Emilion proper. I thought I hated merlot until I tried it here. Wow - amazing
We also had lunch at the end of this stop. That's the only thing I think could be improved upon on the tour. Lunch was a charcuterie board shared by each couple that include bread, cheese, meats and veggies. It was large, but knowing we would be drinking all day could have used something a bit heavier like a true sandwich.
The two afternoon stops in the Medoc. By this point we had driven (ridden) quite a bit and with the 105* heat it gets a bit hard to remember. But I do know our last shop did a chocolate pairing with the wines that was delightful.
Daniel was an excellent guide with SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE. It was a lot of wine and a lot of driving/riding - but worth every penny! An incredible value for everything we drink and saw that day!

Best activity in bordeaux
The hour long tour was the best thing we did in Bordeaux. The tour guide was super knowledgeable & the small group of us all had a great time. Would recommend tenfold to anyone visiting Bordeaux, especially when a show is not running as you might get the chance to see even more of the Opera House.

Fab walking tour
Bruno was an excellent guide introducing us to Bordeaux history, culture and development. He was totally entertaining in his style of presentation and gave us a marvellous sense of the place. I would totally recommend this experience to others

A great day in the Medoc
This small group tour in the Medoc was excellent. Ismail drove us in the van to just 3 chateaux. At each one we were given a good presentation of the chateau and its history and the terroir etc and then had a tasting (of at least 3 wines) accompanied by local food/snacks. The pace was perfect - not rushed at all but relaxed and comfortable. It was well organised, informative and educational. The 3 wineries were all different and they were a good combination. We’d recommend this tour.

Lovely tour of St Emilion and Chateau.
Lovely tour, not too far from Bordeaux. Chateau was beautiful, wines delicious and village really pretty. Oscar was a great guide making the tour entertaining fun.

Great experience for an active family
Edwin was an amazing bike tour guide. The tour had a nice mix of terrain and the winery at the end was terrific. His knowledge of the area was superb. Highly recommend for a Medoc tour or any tour of the region!
