Chartreuse Verte
“The elixir of long life”
The Order of Chartreuse was more than 500 years old when, in 1605, they received a gift from Francois Hannibal d’Estrées, Marshal of King Henri IV’s artillery : an already ancient manuscript from an “Elixir” soon to be nicknamed “Elixir of Long Life”. Today, as has been the way for 400 years, only two monks are entrusted with the secrets of Chartreuse. These two monks are the only people who know the recipe, the ingredients, the preparation and production of the secret green Elixir.
