Domaine de l'Ours Bleu was taken over by two friends in 2013 : they converted the 14 ha of vineyards to organic farming, and patiently waited 2021 to release their first wines. Their philosophy is to produce fully mature wines, after at least 24 months of ageing in differents vessels (amphora, barrels, tanks). Saumur, Saumur-Champigny and Chinon are represented in their range.

Food pairings
This fine bubbly wine goes very well with an aperitif, served with smoked ham toast and Ossau-Iraty shavings, bruschetta-style, but also on a cake with tomato confit, and why not with a fruity dessert like a poached pear with vanilla and sweet spices.
