Chartreuse Elixir 100ml

In 1605, the Duc d’Estrées entrusted the Carthusians with a manuscript containing a mysterious recipe composed of 130 plants which could be used to produce an “elixir for long life”. For over one and a half centuries, the Carthusians worked to perfect this recipe, which resulted, thanks to Brother Jérôme Maubec, in a final product established in 1764 called the “Elixir Végétal de la Grande Chartreuse”.
It was rapidly distributed to the local populations as a remedy, especially during the cholera epidemic in 1832. Brother Charles was the first to sell it at the local markets, riding down from the monastery on a donkey.
The recipe for the Végétal has remained unchanged ever since 1764.

Enjoy with a sugar cube and premium sparkling water.
