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 good experience before you visit the Wineyards,
A place for us who wants to learn more about wine and the region of Bordeaux.

Half day Medoc wine tour
Wonderful half day wine tour of the Medoc. Our guide, Margot, was knowledgeable and fun. Highly recommend

This is a scam, especially if you get the city pass
The tour itself is fine. You get a slow ride around the river with a tour guide telling you some interesting facts of Bordeaux that you will also hear on every other tour and in every museum.
The scam is when the Visiter-bordeaux.com site claims this tour is "The only postwar yacht from Bordeaux" in the English version. And the pictures make it look like it's an older, maybe historically interesting, yacht. That's not true. It's the same modern boat as any other. The site does a poor job of explaining what you get.
To top it off, if you get a City Pass, you get 1 free tour. If you choose a boat tour, you get on the same boat as this and you can buy wine and canele on the boat. Wine is EUR 4 per glass, canele EUR 0.50 each. Don't waste your time or money with this tour. Buy a citypass, choose a boat tour, and buy the glass of wine and canele on the boat. That way you have access to tons of other things in the city for free, free public transportation, and a free boat tour.

A little gem
Very smooth from start to finish. Not enough time to explore so would go back and visit again. Very friendly host at the vineyard, book a full day if you can. The visit to the underground church was amazing. Very steep to the lower level of the village on cobbles, wear comfy shoes

Very enjoyable afternoon
Loved the small format, our enthusiastic guide, Margot, and the pace of the tour. I would recommend it.
