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.
