Production

« Chartreuse Jaune » is characterized by its sweetness, spicy scents and natural
color from 130 plants, flowers, bark, roots and spices.
Its production is significantly different from the Green Chartreuse and requires
several weeks of work in various stages:
– Grinds made by the monks in the plant room at the Grande Chartreuse
monastery.
– Distillation to obtain the aroma.
– Different types of maceration that extract the active ingredients from the
plants and give the liquor its natural color.
It then ages for a long time in oak casks before being bottled, and continues
to evolve and develop its complexity in the bottle.

Excessive drinking is dangerous for your health.
