Chartreuse MOF Liquer

Embark on a journey of refined elegance with Chartreuse Cuvée des Meilleurs Ouvriers de France (MOF) Sommeliers Liqueur. First crafted in 2008 by the Carthusian monks in Aiguenoire, Isère, in collaboration with France’s top Meilleurs Ouvriers de France sommeliers, this 90-proof (45% ABV) liqueur reimagines the classic Yellow Chartreuse. Blending 130 herbs, plants, and spices—whose identities are known only to two monks—this limited-edition pour, aged at least five years in oak casks, balances freshness and vibrancy with a complex, lively profile. Its embossed smoked-glass bottle, cork stopper, and yellow label with blue-white-red accents honor the MOF legacy. Sip it chilled at 5-6°C as a meditative digestif or over ice to unlock its aromatic depth. Ever tasted a liqueur this masterful? Act fast—this gem is as elusive as its secret recipe.

Nose: Herbal mint and génépi lead, with basil, lemon thyme, and candied citrus zest. Linden, honey, and a touch of saffron weave a complex, fresh bouquet.

Palate: Vibrant and silky, with licorice, fennel, and gentian upfront. Anise, chamomile, and mango unfold, balanced by a warm, spicy kick and subtle menthol.

Finish: Fresh mint, violet, and candied citrus linger, fading into a long, refreshing glow with a hint of floral complexity.

Pair this liqueur with a citrus sorbet—the zest loves the herbal freshness. Want a bite? Try aged goat cheese; it lifts the anise notes. For dessert, a pistachio soufflé echoes the palate’s complexity. Feeling bold? Seared scallops with a lemon glaze tie the finish into a refined coastal feast.
