Presented by Quentin Fouquet and Peter Strolz
Since 1605 the liqueurs of the Carthusian monks have held cult status. Green, Yellow, and Elixir: what may look simple reveals significant differences in a vintage comparison. An approach to the secret.
Chartreuse: The Queen of Liqueurs
First documented in 1605, the liqueurs of the Carthusian monks rose to become some of the most coveted products of the spirits world. It might appear straightforward: there is GREEN, YELLOW, and ELIXIR. The subject becomes complex once different vintages can be tasted side by side. The mysterious base recipes remain unchanged, while the ingredients vary annually in quality and character. At our December session we approach this secret through a comprehensive vintage comparison.
Quentin Fouquet is Export Manager at Chartreuse Diffusion, the exclusive distribution company for the liqueurs produced by the Carthusian monks. As a global ambassador for the brand, he shares the rich history and intricate craftsmanship behind the legendary French herbal spirit.
