英语词汇chartreuse liqueur的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

Chartreuse liqueur. A cordial that takes its name from a monastery of the Carthusian monks. La Grande Chartreuse, the mother house of the Carthusian order, was founded by St. Bruno of Cologne in 1084 near Grenoble, France, the monastery taking its name from nearby Carthusia, after which the Carthusians had been named. Early in the 17th century the Maréchal d’Estrées gave the monks a recipe for a liqueur made from fragrant herbs and brandy; the Carthusians called the liqueur Chartreuse. They began to manufacture and sell it on a large scale only when they returned to La Grande Char- treuse after their expulsion during the French Revolution, us- ing the revenues to rebuild and maintain their devastated monastery. Les Chartreux, as the French call the Carthusians, were again expelled from France in 1903, their distillery and trademark being sold and an imitation Chartreuse marketed by a commercial firm. Cognoscenti hold that only the liqueur made by the monks is worthy of the name, claiming that Chartreuse owes its distinctive flavor to the still-secret for- mula that employs angelica root and other herbs of the Grenoble region. The Carthusians were allowed to return to Grenoble in 1938, and now sell their liqueur under the Les Pères Chartreux trademark. The best Chartreuse is a pale apple-green, hence the name of the color chartreuse. See charterhouse.
