Set along Bordeaux’s storied Left Bank is a quietly iconic address that has entered a new chapter. On 1st May 2026, COMO Hotels and Resorts unveiled the revival of a 19th-century landmark, reintroduced as COMO Cordeillan-Bages.
Marking the brand’s first presence in one of the world’s most revered wine regions, the project is realised in close partnership with the Cazes family (custodians of Château Lynch-Bages), whose legacy is deeply rooted in the art of winemaking. The result is both considered and personal: a meeting of two family-led visions shaped by craftsmanship, quiet elegance, and a shared reverence for exceptional food and wine.
Here, heritage is not simply preserved, it’s thoughtfully reawakened.
COMO Cordeillan-Bages marks COMO's third property in France. Located in Pauillac, at the heart of the Médoc, the estate is set among rolling vineyards and historic châteaux that define Bordeaux’s most celebrated appellations. The region is long synonymous with excellence in winemaking, heritage, and gastronomy.
“Following the success of COMO Le Montrachet, we are delighted to expand our presence in another of the world’s great wine regions. The Médoc’s heritage and craftsmanship resonate strongly with COMO’s values, and with COMO Cordeillan-Bages, we will reimagine Bordeaux’s traditions through a contemporary expression of quiet luxury in the heart of the Médoc," stated CEO of COMO Holdings, Olivier Jolivet.
The transformation of the intimate property, distinguished by its turrets dating back to the 17th century, was led by renowned Italian designer Paola Navone, who also reimagined COMO Le Montrachet. Navone’s renovation touches every aspect of the hotel, from its 28 rooms and suites, including two signature COMO Suites, to the gastronomic restaurant and the 25-metre outdoor pool and adjacent gym and sauna. The design balances understated elegance with a strong sense of place, blending contemporary comfort with the textures, materials and quiet sophistication. The interiors bring clarity, strength, and a sense of calm refinement to each space.
COMO Cordeillan-Bages is a natural retreat for oenophiles and wine lovers. Through its close relationship with Château Lynch-Bages, guests enjoy exclusive access to experiences rarely available to the public. The hotel's proximity is near some of the most renowned vineyards in the world, including three of Bordeaux’s five First Growths.
Beyond the vineyards is a rich tapestry of experiences. Just a six-minute walk from the beautifully restored village of Bages is a setting of artisanal boutiques and a convivial bistro, with nearby villages offering a seamless blend of historic charm and contemporary life through independent shops, gastronomic restaurants and wine boutiques. The Médoc’s natural landscape unfolds across expansive vineyards and fragrant pine forests to the sandy Atlantic coastline, just 30 kilometres away, while the hotel sits along the legendary Route des Châteaux.
“We are delighted to be partnering with a family group of such standing, united by shared values and a common pursuit of excellence," expressed Jean-Charles Cazes, CEO of Château Lynch-Bages. "First opened 35 years ago, Cordeillan-Bages was among the pioneering hotels of wine tourism in the region. Today, this collaboration marks a natural continuation of our enduring commitment to the Médoc and to Cordeillan-Bages, while giving the property a new momentum for the years ahead.”
