The cuvée des Meilleur Ouvriers de France is a blend liqueur. To create this liqueur, the Carthusians brought all their know-how and knowledge to select traditional Yellow Chartreuse liqueurs and seek a different aromatic balance, highlighting freshness and liveliness.
Chartreuse dates back to 1605, when monks in a monastery near Paris gifted a manuscript depicting an elixir made up of 130 herbs with the method to macerate, blend and infuse them. It wasn’t until the 18th century that a study of the manuscript was undertaken at Mother House of the Order – La Grande Chartreuse – in the mountains near Grenoble in southeast France. First produced 1764, it was a used as a medicine and then as a beverage in the following centuries. Today only two Chartreuse Monks are said to know the names of the 130 herbs and plants in the liqueur’s production.
