Jean Beauquin
Jean Beauquin works in Pays Nantais, the maritime extension of the Loire Valley where Atlantic influence shapes the wines. The region's cool climate and mineral soils favor crisp, food-friendly expressions—a character evident in the winery's portfolio. The Muscadet le "B" de Beauquin, made from Melon de Bourgogne, embodies the local tradition: a dry white of clarity and salinity, the grape's native home. The Domaine de Chauffour Cabernet d'Anjou Rosé, crafted from Cabernet Sauvignon, shows the versatility of the broader Loire terroir, where red varieties yield structured, nuanced rosés. Both wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator. Jean Beauquin's range reflects the Lower Loire's dual identity—rooted in Melon's crisp minerality while exploring the depth that Cabernet brings to the region's rosé tradition.
