The history of Chartreuse begins in 1605 when the Marshal of Estrées gave the monks of the Charterhouse of Vauvert a manuscript containing a list of 130 plants and spices, a recipe that promises to be a long life elixir.
Starting from the manuscript, these monks have perfected the recipe over the decades, refining and handing down the distillation and aging techniques. The Chartreuse production site changes seven times: from Paris to Tarragona to Voiron, the distillery moves together with the monks, but the Chartreuse always remains itself.
Currently the production site is in Aiguenoire, a small village located in the French Alps not far from Grenoble, a remote place with an enchanted nature, where the Carthusians carry on with meticulous care and great love the tradition of the liqueur that does not fear time.
Among plants, roots, spices and flowers, 130 ingredients are involved in the Chartreuse recipe. They all arrive at the monastery dried and then divided and processed by the monks, who proceed to the infusion as well as to the alcoholic maceration.
The distillation takes place in copper pot stills, which house baskets with some herbs, a technique that allows to enhance even some very delicate aromas. Finally, aging for at least three years in large French oak barrels with very compact fibers, which are well suited to long aging.
In any case, no one knows the details on infusions and distillation, since the production process is a well-kept secular secret: only two monks participate in the final stages, Don Benoit and Fra Jan Jacques, while there are three to assist them. lay people who deal with non-secret processes.

Distillates have different alcoholpercentages. So, we have defined a parameter allowing you to better understand and compare different prices. This parameter is calculated by dividing the bottle price by the alcohol content. The alcohol content (or strength) is the amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the distillate.
This parameter indicates the price of a single 4cl dosage of distillate. It is calculated by dividing the price of the bottle by its quantity (expressed in cl), then multiplying by the centilitres of the recommended single dose, as average in cocktail recipes.
