Beschreibung:

C'est en 1605 que les moines de la Chartreuse de Vauvert à Paris prennent possession du manuscrit révèlant la formule d'un Elixir de Longue Vie dont nul ne sait l'origine. A cette époque, seuls les moines et les apothicaires possèdent les connaissances nécessaires pour élaborer cette liqueur provenant de 130 plantes. En 1903, les chartreux implantent une distillerie à Tarragone en Espagne suite à leur expulsion de France. Les bouteilles offertes dans ce catalogue proviennent de la période de production à Tarragone entre 1903 et 1918. César Ritz aurait soutenu la cause des moines en achetant un stock important de Chartreuse...la cave du Ritz détient encore à ce jour une collection de plus de 100 bouteilles. It was back in 1605 that the monks of the Chartreuse de Vauvert first took possession of the mysterious manuscript which held the secrets of this famous liqueur made from a curious cocktail of herbs and plants. During this period, Only a few monks and even fewer apothecaries understood the use of herbs and plants and indeed to this day, this "Elixir of Long Life" is still made only by Chartreuse monks. In 1903, the Chartreuse distillery was nationalized by the French government and with this the monks fled to Spain. The Chartreuse monks soon settled and created a new distillery in the town of Tarragona. The bottles offered in this catalogue come from this period and can be dated between 1903 and 1918. It is believed that Cesar Ritz himself supported the monk's cause and bought significant stocks. Indeed, today the cellar of the Ritz Paris boasts a collection of over 100 bottles.
