Marc BOULON

The Mas Caron estate was created in 2015 by Marc BOULON, a former sales manager in computer software sales for 30 years. For about ten years Marc had in mind the project of taking over a wine estate. His children being independent and after meeting Cerise, his partner, he decided to embark on this adventure of passion at her side. After a year of research, Marc and Cerise fell under the charm of a Provencal farmhouse built in 1720 and totally surrounded by vineyards and olive trees. This building has a superb view of the Dentelles de Montmirail and the Mont Ventoux, which strongly influenced the owners' love affair with the property. However, if the vines were already there, the mas was not yet a domain. Well surrounded and still driven by his passion for wine, Marc created everything: the name of the domain, the vintages, the cellar... It is both a chance because it allowed him to choose a domain that resembles him but it is also a big challenge because there is everything to do and especially to create the reputation of the domain. This is also why the domain has quickly launched into wine tourism, so he resumed his studies to complete a professional baccalaureate in vineyards and wine by correspondence with the high school of Orange, in order to have the necessary knowledge to create his wine domain. He did a practical training course at Château Juvenal in Saint Hippolyte-le-Graveyron to acquire the technical side of the business. For the record, the name of the domain comes from a play on words with the term "mascaron", which, in architecture, designates an ornament generally representing a mask or a human figure whose original function was to keep evil spirits away from the house. Marc also wanted to make a nod to his origins, since Parisians often pronounce "macaron". As the farmhouse is located in the town of Caromb, the name is also a way of integrating into its environment. Finally, the initials of Mas Caron are "M C" as in Marc and Cerise. The estate now has 11 hectares of vines, 4 hectares of which were planted in March 2018 to offer more diversified wines in the future.
