This distillate represents a perfect fusion between the centuries-old tradition of the Carthusian monks and the pure essence of a fruit beloved throughout France.
Noix de la Grande Chartreuse is produced following an ancient recipe dating back to 1860, similar to the Italian liqueur Nocino, but with the addition of medicinal herbs.
Green walnuts, hand-picked in early summer before the shell hardens, are the heart of this liqueur. They are expertly blended with a selection of aromatic herbs and spices, the secret of which is jealously guarded by the monks, as per Chartreuse tradition.
With 43% alcohol, Noix de la Grande Chartreuse is a versatile liqueur, excellent as an after-dinner drink.
It can be enjoyed neat as a digestif, perhaps slightly chilled to enhance its aromas, or used as a base for sophisticated cocktails.
It is also an excellent accompaniment to nut or chocolate desserts, and excellent in ice cream.
The elegant and traditional bottle design recalls the centuries-old history of the distillery, while the label bears the seal of the Carthusian monks, a guarantee of quality and authenticity.
Noix de la Grande Chartreuse is more than just a liqueur, it's a sensory journey through the flavors of Alpine, agricultural, and artisanal France.
