2026 Chartreuse Liqueur du Foudre 147 Description

2026 Chartreuse Liqueur du Foudre 147 700ml is a rare and collectible French herbal liqueur produced by the Carthusian monks behind Chartreuse. This special expression continues its maturation in the historic Foudre 147 in Voiron, creating a rich balance between intense botanical character and a smooth, rounded texture.

Liqueur du Foudre 147 was created to preserve the tradition of aging Chartreuse in the historic cellars of Voiron. The expression has become one of the more distinctive releases sought after by serious Chartreuse collectors and enthusiasts.

The 2026 bottling is produced from carefully selected Chartreuse liqueurs with pronounced aromatic character. After blending, the liqueur continues aging in Foudre 147, where additional maturation adds depth, integration, and complexity.

The traditional Chartreuse recipe incorporates 130 plants, flowers, barks, roots, spices, and berries. This expression is bottled at 49% ABV / 98 proof in a 700ml bottle.

The result is a powerful and aromatic herbal liqueur with layers of alpine herbs, citrus, spice, roots, flowers, vegetal notes, and subtle sweetness. The extended maturation gives the liqueur additional roundness while preserving the bold herbal identity associated with Chartreuse.
