This is the original Chartreuse: the 1764 recipe that every green and yellow bottle descends from, still made by Carthusian monks and unchanged since. In 1605 the Duke of Estrées handed the order a manuscript for an elixir of 130 plants. The monks spent more than 150 years working it out, and Brother Jérôme Maubec gets much of the credit for fixing the formula in 1764 (the liqueurs came later, in 1840, built on it). The Elixir started out as medicine as much as a drink. The monks gave it to locals during the 1832 cholera crisis, and Brother Charles first sold it at local markets, riding down from the monastery on a donkey. It only reached the US in 2022, where it goes by Végétal de la Grande Chartreuse. At 69% ABV you measure it in drops, so it comes in a 100ml bottle packed in a wooden case that keeps out the light. Take it the way the monks suggest: a teaspoon neat after dinner, a few drops on a sugar cube or in hot tea with honey and lemon.

Flatiron's Take

From the Importer

What has to say about this wine:

Tasting Notes & Food Pairings

Perfect Pairings

A few dashes on a sugar cube topped with Champagne and a lemon twist; a few drops on meringue; 3–4 dashes in a gin and dry vermouth martini; a hot toddy with honey and lemon after a rich Alpine dinner like tartiflette or fondue.

Tasting Profile

Expect a concentrated, high-strength take on Green Chartreuse: intensely herbal and medicinal, with mint, anise, alpine herbs and warm spice over a light touch of sweetness. At 69% it is fiery and warming on the palate, so a few drops go a long way. The finish is typically long, cooling and resinous.
