FSP (902-2)

FSP, aka French Spirit Production is a French company created in 2012 as part of the French Spirit Group, that focuses on the production, winemaking, ageing, bottling and distribution of wine and spirits. A family business, FSP founder is descended from winegrowers in the Rhone Valley, with a history dating back to the 1740s. Some parts of the family can be traced back to the 13^th century in the Rhône Valley, and the 17^th century in Burgundy & Franche-Comté.  Initially, the focus was on Rhône Valley wines, but the family eventually launched a wine-merchant activity with partners in Champagne in the 1950s, and then started to develop a portfolio of wines with qualitative partners from Burgundy, the Loire Valley, Bordeaux and Languedoc. In the 1990s, they established a Paris-based distribution office to support  on-trade sales. Growing quickly internationally throughout the early 2000s, the French Spirit Group opened their Asia HQ in Shanghai in 2008.
