CHARTREUSE: is a French herbal liqueur, made by macerating certain herbs in a high-proof brandy. The liqueur is named in honor of the Carthusian Grande Chartreuse monastery, “La Grande Chartreuse,” taking its name from the Chartreuse massif in the Alps, the region of France where the monastery is located.
History
In 1605, the Duke of Estrées handed the Carthusian monks of Paris a strange manuscript with a formula called the “Élixir de Longue Vie” (Elixir of long life). After several unsuccessful attempts, the cartusians’ herb-lorists 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, in Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, began to produce the so-called “Élixir végétal” (Vegetal Elixir) and to market it in 1764. Distribution was limited to nearby Grenoble and Chambéry, but its popularity grew. From the vegetal elixir, the Carthusians developed a digestif they 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 Grande Chartreuse monastery and resumed their activity. From 1840 they produced the so-called yellow chartreuse, milder than its predecessor, the green chartreuse. In 1860 they built the monastery’s distillery.
In 1903 the Carthusians were expelled from France. They took their secret with them and established a distillery in Tarragona (Spain), which became the center of liqueur production, called “Tarragona.” It was also manufactured in Marseille from 1921 to 1929, under the same name, “Tarragona.”
