Description

Produced since 1605 by the monks of the Grande Chartreuse from 130 plants and spices, the "queen of liqueurs", green or yellow, continually attracts new enthusiasts, and collectors snap up the rarest bottles at golden prices. This unique bottle identification guide is their reference document. Inextricably linked to the monastic order that invented it, the history of Chartreuse is fascinating. Its recipe, offered to the disciples of Saint Bruno by Marshal d'Estrées in 1605, required more than a century of deciphering and refinement before giving birth to the beverage we know. Its success has led to attempts by counterfeiters, while the Carthusian monks, first dispossessed by the Revolution and then by laws on congregations, were forced to abandon their monastery. Always copied, never equaled, Chartreuse liqueur enjoys unprecedented commercial success. From the "tipn top" cocktail to the VEP (exceptionally prolonged aging) favored by connoisseurs, it appeals to all generations. Collectors, on their part, eagerly seek out Tarragona bottles, with their inimitable taste, distilled by the Carthusian brothers during their exile in Spain. Enthusiasts will find in this book tasting advice as well as a catalog to recognize the most precious old bottles.
