The liqueur is named in honor of the Carthusian monastery of La Grande Chartreuse, “the Great Cartusia”; it takes its name from the Chartreuse Massif, the Chartreuse Mountains in the Alps, the region of France where the monastery is located. History In 1605, the Duke of Estrées handed the Carthusian monks of Paris a strange manuscript with a formula called the “Elixir of Long Life.” After several unsuccessful attempts, the herbalists at the monastery considered the recipe too complex and abandoned it. But the recipe was rescued, and a century and a half later the pharmacy of the Grand Chartreuse, in Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, began to produce the so-called “Elixir végétal” (Vegetal Elixir) and to market it in 1764. Distribution was limited to nearby Grenoble and Chambéry, but its popularity grew. From the Elixir Vegetal, the Carthusians developed a digestif called the “Liqueur de santé” (Health Liqueur). The French Revolution scattered the monastic order in 1793 and the monks stopped distilling their liqueur. In 1816, they returned to the Grand Chartreuse monastery and resumed their activity. From 1840 they produced the so-called yellow Chartreuse, milder than its predecessor, the green Chartreuse. In 1860 they built the monastery’s distillery. In 1903 the Carthusians were expelled from France. They took their secret and established a distillery in Tarragona (Spain), which became the production center of the liqueur, called “Tarragona.” It was also manufactured in Marseille from 1921 to 1929, under the same name of “Tarragona.”
