Chartreuse, Meilleurs Ouvriers de France - MOF, 45° (70 cl)

Appellation: Chartreuse
Domain: La Grande Chartreuse
Grape variety(ies): Alcool, sucre, 130 plantes et fleurs.
Alcohol degree: 45%

A very luminous golden yellow colour with emerald reflections, for this singular Chartreuse, with its own identity: it allows us to find ourselves around an extremely typical product, both titrated and mellow, a nervous liqueur, full of freshness, sufficiently complex in its aromatics to ensure power on the palate, without losing any of the breed to which it belongs. A true work of goldsmith.

With six friends and after several unsatisfactory attempts, he came to Grenoble, attracted by the reputation of the young bishop Hugh. In a dream, he saw God building a house for his glory in the heart of a mountain called "Chartreuse", a place so sparsely inhabited that it was nicknamed "the desert"; seven stars showed him the way.
