History & Recipe
In 1605, the Duke of Estrées entrusted the Carthusians with a manuscript containing a mysterious recipe composed of 130 plants. Over the following century and a half, the monks developed that formula, with Brother Jérôme Maubec playing a key role in the final preparation established in 1764.
The existing producer history recounts how Brother Charles brought the elixir to local markets, traveling down from the monastery by donkey. According to that history, the recipe has remained unchanged since 1764.

Producer Notes
In 1605, the Duke of Estrees entrusted the Carthusians with a manuscript bearing a mysterious recipe made up of 130 plants that could give rise to an "Elixir of long life". For more than a century and a half, the Carthusians will develop this recipe which will give birth, thanks in particular to Brother Jérôme Maubec, to a final product fixed in 1764 called "Plant Elixir of the Grande Chartreuse". It was quickly distributed as a care product to local populations, especially during the cholera crisis of 1832. Brother Charles was the first to market it in local markets, descending on a donkey from the monastery. Since 1764, the recipe for the Elixir has remained unchanged.
