According to tradition, in 1605 a marshal of artillery to French king Henri IV, François Hannibal d'Estrées, presented the Carthusian monks at Vauvert, near Paris, with a manuscript that contained a complicated recipe for an "elixir of long life".
In 1938, the monks were allowed to return to their old monastery and resumed production of Chartreuse under its original name.
Today the liquors are produced in Voiron using the herbal mixture prepared by three monks at the Grande Chartreuse.
