1737-1860 : Monastery of “la Grande-Chartreuse” 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, the Elixir Végétal – from the manuscript given by Marshall d’Estrées – is finally produced in 1737. The Elixir is followed by the production of Green Chartreuse in 1764.
