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.

Very poor
The commentary for the entire trip was not clear to hear.
The sights were very uninteresting. Some historical sights were noticed but again I got nothing from the commentary.
Very poor investment of my time and money.

A wonderful, memorable day in Saint Emilion
It was our first time in Bordeaux and we were looking for a shorter day trip since we arrived in the morning. We have been to many wineries and this experience to Saint Emilion was different. We learned something new along the way and the three stops were all unique.
We met our lovely guide, Chihiro, and we drove to a family run winery. It was the perfect way to start the tour, followed by a picnic lunch under the trees in the vineyard, visited by the winery dog, Jojo. We next went to the city of Saint Emilion; a stunning yellow lime stone city centre. We visited a wine shop and did a tasting of different wines - smaller wineries with different histories. We walked around a bit before heading to the last winery in Lalande Pomerol. We had a great tour and it was unique because the chateau has different terroir for their plots, so the wines all tasted different.
A big thank you to Chihiro for educating us and being wonderful company for the day. We highly recommend this tour and would do another one next time we visit.

A great tour and something a little different.
This really is an exceptionally enjoyable and quirky tour. In addition to learning some history on several vineyards and chateaus, the Tuk Tuk tour of the caves was excellent. Great value and a very pleasant wine tasting to end your trip.

Amazing Experience!
What an amazing experience! Our e-bike tour with Chihiro was incredible from start to finish. Riding around St. Émilion, touring the vineyards, and tasting local wines made for a perfect day. We’d definitely recommend Rustic Vines to all our friends. Thank you for an awesome experience!
