The Chartreuse Distilleries were established since 1737.
Located in the Chartreuse mountain, the Monastery of “La Grande Chartreuse” is the Mother House — the Headquarters — of the Chartreuse Order. This is where, after years of study, Elixir Végétal – from the manuscript ” Elixir of long life” – is finally, produced in 1737. The Elixir is followed by the production of Green Chartreuse in 1764.
