About Chartreuse Green Liqueur

It appeared in 1804 and was marketed by the Carthusian monks as ‘the liqueur of health’. It was a raging success, but the French Revolution, and the dispersion of the order, brought this story to a screeching halt. Because of what was happening, they decided it was a good idea to make a note of the recipe. The copy was kept by the only monk who could stay in the Grande-Chartreuse monastery near Grenoble (southeastern France), while the original was guarded by another. This ‘other’ was arrested and imprisoned in Bordeaux, but managed to keep the original document hidden until he managed to get it out of prison and give it to another member of the order. From there it passed into the hands of a pharmacist in Grenoble, Napoleon I decided it was a useless remedy, and it was finally returned to the Grande-Chartreuse monastery.

This is the story of Chartreuse Vert, the liqueur that is easily recognisable by its characteristic green colour (which is totally natural). It is made using more than 130 plants that are macerated separately and known only to monks. Today this secret is still alive in the order’s facilities in Voiron (in the southeast of France). After these botanicals come into contact with the alcohol, the blend is taken to the distillery where it is poured into copper stills (for some very special productions) and stainless steel stills. In this process, which lasts about 8 hours, water vapour is used to obtain different alcoholates. These small distillations are mixed and honey, sugar syrup and other plants are added. After this process, Chartreuse Verde will continue to age in oak barrels for years.
