CHARTREUSE is a French herbal liqueur, made by macerating certain herbs in a high-alcohol distillate. The liqueur is named in honor of the Carthusian monastery of Grande Chartreuse, “the Grand Charterhouse,” taking its name from the Chartreuse Massif in the French Alps, the region where the monastery is located.
History
In 1605, the Duke of Estrées handed to the monks of the Paris Carthusian monastery a strange manuscript with a formula called the “Elixir of Long Life.” After several unsuccessful attempts, the monastery’s herbalists considered the recipe too complex and abandoned it. But the recipe was rescued, and a century and a half later the pharmacy of the Grand Chartreuse, at Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, began producing the so-called “Élixir végétal” (Vegetal Elixir) and marketed it in 1764. Distribution was limited to nearby Grenoble and Chambéry, but its popularity grew. From the vegetal elixir, the Carthusians developed a digestif called “Liqueur de santé” (Health Liqueur).
The French Revolution dispersed the monastic order in 1793, and the monks stopped distilling their liqueur. In 1816, they returned to the Grand Chartreuse monastery and resumed their activities. From 1840 they produced the so-called Yellow Chartreuse, milder than its predecessor, Green Chartreuse. In 1860 they built the monastery’s distillery.
In 1903 the Carthusians were expelled from France. They took their secret and established a distillery in Tarragona (Spain), which became the center for producing the liqueur, called “Tarragona.” It was also produced in Marseille from 1921 to 1929, under the same name, “Tarragona.”
