Production

« Chartreuse Verte » derives its unique character from its natural color, its power
and its aromatic complexity from 130 plants, flowers, bark, roots and spices.
Its development requires several weeks of work and is done 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.
