Thanks to their reputation as apothecaries, in 1605 at the Vauvert monastery in Paris, the Maréchal d’Estrées entrusted the Carthusian Monks with a manuscript containing a mysterious recipe composed of 130 plants, flowers, roots, berries and bark which could be used to produce an elixir for “long life”.
The date of 1605 is probably the most symbolic in the history of Chartreuse liqueurs, as this is the date when it all started. It still appears on all bottles of Chartreuse and is a key element of the identity of the Carthusian fathers’ liqueurs.
Using the year 1605 as a starting point, the date of 16.05, May 16th, was chosen. The project being being to create an annual event on 16th May to celebrate Chartreuse with people touched by its history, its mystery, its roots and its authenticity. The “16.05” event was born, a highlight providing an opportunity each year to support the professional community and raise awareness through various activities via its importers, distributors and their teams with the aim of better serving the liqueur.
16.05 has become a not-to-be-missed celebration in over twenty countries. Here’s to 16.05 ! Here’s to Chartreuse!
