The Heritage of FSP: Fine Wines and Spirits Since the 18th Century

FSP (French Spirit Production) is a distinguished French company that has been making its mark in the wine and spirits industry since its establishment in 2012. As part of the renowned French Spirit Group, FSP specializes in the production, wine-making, ageing, bottling, and distribution of exquisite wines and spirits. What sets FSP apart is its rich family heritage, dating back to the 18th century when their ancestors began as local wine producers in the Rhône Valley. With roots tracing back even further to the 13th century in Rhône and the 17th century in Burgundy and Franche-Comté, the family’s expertise has been passed down through generations.

While initially focusing on Rhône Valley wines, the family expanded its horizons and ventured into the wine-merchant business, introducing Champagne in the 1950s. Over time, they built a portfolio of wines in collaboration with esteemed partners from Burgundy, the Loire Valley, Bordeaux, and Languedoc. In the 1990s, French Spirit Group established a distribution office in Paris to support on-trade sales, and by the 2000s, their export business experienced significant growth. Recognizing the importance of the Asian market, French Spirit Group set up a branch office in China in 2008, which eventually became the group’s Asian headquarters, currently located in Shanghai.
