(2017-04-16)Nancy McCain is an heir to the privately held multi-billion dollar McCain Foods empire co-founded by her late father Andrew McCain and three uncles, Harrison, Wallace and Bob (all deceased). Nancy McCain's husband, Bill Morneau is Canada's finance minister and previously was executive chairman of the billion dollar human resource consultancy, Morneau Shepell, which his father William Morneau Sr founded. Her brother, Allison McCain is the current Chairman of McCain Foods, Nancy's cousin is Michael McCain who is CEO and the largest shareholder of the $4 billion Canadian food giant, Maple Leaf Foods.
Bill Morneau's love for France began with his time as a student first at the University of Grenoble and then at INSEAD located south of Paris where he earned his MBA. Their villa known locally as a Mas (Provençal farmhouse) is located on the western edge of Oppede in the Luberon region of Provence (see the various map links in the list below) and the unmarked road only identified on google streetview. The Mas (Villa) was extensively renovated including the addition of tennis court, pool and extensive landscaping and is surrounded by vineyards. McCain and Morneau manage their property through a company they formed in 2007, SCI (Société Civile Immobilière) Mas des Morneau. To get a sense of the charm and grandeur of the McCain Morneau, a nearby villa, less than a half mile away, is available as a vacation rental at 5000 € per week, its website is second from the bottom in the list below. As reported Bill Morneau's favorite restaurant is Cafe Veranda in Oppede. And finally an obscure reference (see links below) to a 2011 and 2012 vintage white wine, Mas de Morneau Viognier.
