THE CHOCOLATE-COVERED WALNUTS SPECIALIST
le domaine de béquignol
A story of chocolate and family
Proud of his land, Claude Ginèbre set out in 1972 to enhance the walnut, one of the emblems of the Perigord region, by launching a range of spirits. From fruit liqueurs to chocolates, it was only a matter of time before he took the plunge in 1979 with the launch of Arlequine and Nogaillou.
In 2005, Marion, his daughter, joined him in the adventure after training as a food flavourist. She took over at the head of the company in 2016.
