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.

Tasting
Suave notes of stewed white fruits and white flowers, supported by notes of caramel and vanilla.
Wine with a light yellow color, limpid and a shiny disk whose very present tears cling to the walls of the glass. Sweet notes of white fruits and yellow fruits: pear, pineapple, vanilla, caramel. A frank and sweet attack on the palate, a fairly impressive volume combining power and minerality in a remarkable balance which leads to a finish full of freshness.

Food pairings
This white wine goes very well with an aperitif, white fish, pan-fried scallops, refined poultry such as chicken, or even with veal.
