Cuvée presentation

Tarragona Chartreuse bottled between 1921 and 1929 in Marseille, following the decision of the Carthusians in 1920 to open a distillery there. It was placed under the direction of the same monks who produced the liqueur in Catalonia. At the beginning of the 1920s, the Carthusians managed to resume distribution of their products in France, but as they were not granted permission to return to their monastery and distillery in Fourvoirie, they settled in Marseille. They carried out blending, bottling and even distillation there, with the tacit agreement of the government. It was difficult for the Carthusians to fully establish themselves as distillers in Marseille during this time because Cusenier was also producing an imitation of Chartreuse in France. The Marseille distillery, which was also the headquarters of the Carthusian society, Union Agricola de Tarragona, made it possible to circumvent the French government's ban on importing spirits from abroad.

The distillery Chartreuse

Mystery surrounds the origins of Chartreuse. In 1605, one of Estrées’‘ marshals presented the Carthusian Monks at Vauvert, Paris with a manuscript containing the formula for a plant elixir. In 1764, this formula using 130 plants was perfected and formalized by Father Jérôme Maubec, who created the Elixir Végétal de la Grande-Chartreuse, the monastery where Chartreuse would be produced until 1864. After a difficult end to the century marked by a French Revolution that posed many problems for religious orders, green and yellow Chartreuse were created in 1840 and quickly became popular. In 1903, the monks were expelled from France and sought refuge in Tarragona, Spain, where they continued to produce Chartreuse, despite the brand being sold to a group of liquor producers. They recovered the brand in 1929 and returned production to France, although the Tarragona distillery would continue operating until 1989. Today, Chartreuse Diffusion manages production, now at the Aigueneoire Distillery, which follows in the footsteps of Fourvoirie and Voiron. Various types of Chartreuse are distributed, from green Chartreuse, to yellow Chartreuse, the Elixir Végétal and VEPs. Older versions and limited editions are hugely popular among enthusiasts and collectors, who have nicknamed it the “Queen of Liqueurs”.
