CHÂTEAU LE BASTIDON
Facing the Levant Islands, Port Cros, and Porquerolles, this th century castle has always been a breeding ground for vine and olive cultivation. At the time, its occupants, the Chartreux of the Verne, already cultivated them. And the merchant boats coming from the salt pumps in Hyères used their passage to load olive barrels and olive pots from their ships. The Rose family, which has been in the field for 17 years, has been returning to history and perpetuated the work of the nuns by replanting more than 50 hectares of vines and 10 hectares of olive trees (3 000 trees). The oil produced from the varieties cayon, bouteillan, aglandau, picholine and grossanne, is classified AOC Provence. In 2015 she won the gold medal at the PACA Regional Oil Competition.
