Jean-Philippe Bouchet is son of a winegrower in Vinsobres and has for some years worked as sales manager by a company selling equipment for winegrowers.

"The story takes at first its source in my childhood memories: the passion of the earth, vines and the respect for our Mother Earth, I hold these values from my grandfather. Summers spent with him, in lands and on the tractor to carry the harvest.... In the evening, my grand-parents used to prepare the "mourres" salad (wild salad which has the particularity to curl up as soon as it is cut on its base) with a vinaigrette made of garlic, tomato and olive oil, to accompany the potato cooked in the chimney…these memories are still representing for me full moments of flavours and eternal sensations.....
After several experiences which moved me closer to the vine and wine world, the dream was realized in early 2009 by the purchase of 5 hectares. The identity of our domain was found after a family day spent with our parents and children in our vineyard to collect – it was our turn - this "mourres" salad, so that the emotions of the past revive in the present, and finally pass on to our children the taste of the passions because Clos des Mourres is also a love story...."
 
In 2009 he bought 5 ha. of vineyards situated near Col du Débat between Cairanne and Saint Roman de Malegarde. In 2010 further one ha. is purchased. 

He wants to cultivate the vineyards biodynamicaly and in 2009 he start the road towards certification as agriculture biologioque.

In 2009 he made his first own vintage in his new established cellar in Vaison La Romaine.
