Chartreuse diffusion

Beverages and spirits

The Chartreuse is more than four centuries of history since François Hannibal d'Estrées handed over the manuscript in 1605. It took more than 150 years of research for the Chartreux monks to penetrate the secret of the manuscript and fix the recipe of the Élixir Vegétal in 1764. At the beginning of the 19th century, the development of a new "Elixir de Table" gave birth to the Green Chartreuse and the Yellow Chartreuse in 1840. Since then, they have been able to keep and transmit their precious know-how and, even today, these recipes are the bulk of the products of the Chartreux Fathers.
