CHARTREUSE: French herbal liqueur, produced by macerating certain herbs in a high-proof spirit. The liqueur is named in honor of the Carthusian monastery Grande Chartreuse “la Gran Cartuja,” 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 to the monks of the Carthusian monastery of Paris a strange manuscript with a formula called the “Élixir de Longue Vie” (Elixir of long life). After several unsuccessful attempts the herbalists of the Carthusian order considered the recipe too complex and abandoned it. But the recipe was rescued and a century and a half later the pharmacy of the Grande 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 produced a digestif called “Liqueur de santé” (Health Liqueur).
The French Revolution dispersed the monastic order in 1793 and the monks ceased 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, 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 production for the liqueur, called “Tarragona.” It was also produced in Marseille from 1921 to 1929, under the same name “Tarragona.”
