Chartreuse Gentiane des Pères Chartreux is an apéritif from the French Alps.
This apéritif reveals a bitter and herbaceous profile, featuring notes of gentian, spices and root. It is crafted from a distillation of fermented yellow gentian roots and rhizomes, complemented by a maceration of spices and sugar.
Crafted by the Carthusian monks in 1998, Chartreuse Gentiane draws upon centuries of monastic distilling tradition and botanical expertise. Built upon a beetroot-based spirit, this expression features wild gentian root harvested directly from the French Alps, establishing a firm, aromatic structural backbone balanced by a secret blend of regional herbs and spices.
Earthy alpine characteristics with a bright citrus lift, complemented by subtle undertones of dried mountain florals and warming spice. An assertive, defining gentian bitterness that evolves into complex layers of candied citrus peel, deep herbal complexity, and delicate floral notes. Lively, refreshing, and sustained by a natural sweetness that softens the bitter profile.
