Chartreuse, Meilleurs Ouvriers de France - MOF, 45° (70 cl)

A very luminous golden yellow colour with emerald reflections, for this singular Chartreuse, with its own identity: it allows us to find ourselves around an extremely typical product, both titrated and mellow, a nervous liqueur, full of freshness, sufficiently complex in its aromatics to ensure power on the palate, without losing any of the breed to which it belongs. A true work of goldsmith.

A highly esteemed professor and later rector of the cathedral school of Rheims, he was at the height of his fame when he decided to follow what he considered to be his true vocation: to leave the world and honours in order to live for God alone and "embrace the monastic life". With six friends and after several unsatisfactory attempts, he came to Grenoble, attracted by the reputation of the young bishop Hugh. In a dream, he saw God building a house for his glory in the heart of a mountain called "Chartreuse", a place so sparsely inhabited that it was nicknamed "the desert"; seven stars showed him the way. Seeing in the arrival of Bruno and his six friends the response of Providence to this mysterious dream, he led his visitors there. It was June 1084 and Bruno recognised in this solitary place the place he was looking for. It would be the site of the future Grande Chartreuse.
