Technique
Characteristics
One day in 1605, Marshal François Hannibal d'Estrées gave the Carthusian Fathers of the Chartreuse de Vauvert in Paris a mysterious manuscript containing the formula for an Elixir of Long Life. The Carthusian monks used all their science to decipher the grimoire, and their patient work finally came to fruition when Brother Jérôme Maubec, apothecary of the Grande-Chartreuse, perfected this Elixir with incomparable virtues.
Oenology
The need to make this powerful remedy with its exceptional bouquet into a particularly pleasant digestive drink soon became obvious. The first liqueur, the ancestor of Chartreuse Verte, was born. It is this very first liqueur that the Carthusian monks are reviving today, naming it "Liqueur d'Elixir", to commemorate the handing over of the manuscript to the Carthusian monks of Vauvert 400 years ago.
