LOIRE
Divine Justine
The Loire Valley region is located in the West of France along the banks of the Loire river. Loire, France's longest river, meanders through a valley of over 1,000 km from the mountainous area around Ardéche to its mouth in the Atlantic Ocean. The first time the river meets vineyards is in Sancerre, located right in the middle of France. For the next 800 km, Loire runs through a landscape of 75,000 hectares of vineyards, 87 different AOC appellations and more than 4,000 vineyards. The Loire Valley has played a vital role in French wine history for centuries, and one of the region's trump cards is diversity. The Loire valley region is known for producing all sorts of wines in the three colors (white, red, rosé), dry or sweet, sparkling or not.
FSP is implanted in the Loire Valley (Touraine) where Chenin blanc, Sauvignon blanc and Cabernet franc are the most typical grape varieties. Our main focus is on Anjou, Bourgueil (Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil), Chinon, Saumur (Saumur Champigny), but also Coteaux du Layon, Sancerre and Crémant de Loire (Saumur méthode traditionnelle).

It would be in 1325 that the ancestor of the marquis, Hugues de Sade, married Laure de Noves. She gave birth to eleven children and died in 1348. The origins of the family is Avignon and the region of Provence. After the French Revolution, the family migrated to the Champagne region and sett- led in the château of Condé (in Condé-en-Brie, in the Champagne region). The family stayed there until 1982. Then settled in the Loire Valley until now. The range is composed of Champagne Brut, Blanc de Blancs, Premiers Crus, Grands Crus and Champagne millésimé, coming from different part of Champagne (Montagne de Reims, Côte des Blanc, Côte des Bar...). We like to have a long ageing for our champagne of at least 4-5 years. Champagne from the South (Côte des Bar) with 80% pinot noir and 20% chardonnay. Long ageing on lies for 4 to 5 years and no oak.

Chile, a land of freedom
As “flying-wine-maker”, FSP team is always looking for the best terroir and new opportunities worldwide. We have always been attracted by South America’s freedom in terms of wine-production and regulations, and we like the style of wines that are produced there by the most popular wineries. Also, the climate, the maritime and Andes mountain influence on the vineyards provide a great complexity to the wines. Last, the country provides stability and good conditions for investors. Today FSP has its own oenologist on site following all the process of production, from the vinification to the final steps of bottling and packing.
FSP Onologist in Chile
Paula Bottero profile
In 1996, Paula joined the winemaking team at Viña Undurraga, a Chilean winery located in Maipo Valley. There, she worked on all wines from entry level to premium wines, such as Altazor icon wine. For 10 years the winery crushed an average of 15 million kilograms of grapes each harvest.
From 1999 to 2005, Paula went to the California, United States; where she learned about different winemaking techniques. After 10 years at Undurraga winery, she took on a new challenge and joined Los Robles winery as Chief winemaker and Agricultural Director, in the Curico Valley. She traveled quite often to England and was able to understand what type of wine local buyers and consumers expected from Chile at different price points. At that time, the UK was the most important market for the winery, as it was Fair Trade certified.
Moreover, Los Robles winery was the most important Fair-Trade winery from Chile in the UK. Thus in 2007, Paula was recognized as one of the 7 most influential winemakers in the English market. Soon after in 2008, she joined Chilean Vineyard. A winery formed by Swiss investors and a winery from South Africa, also located in the Curico Valley, Chile. For 6 years, Paula developed this winery and sales went from 500,000 liters to exporting 3,000,000 liters mainly to the UK and China. Since 2015, Paula has been the Chief winemaker at Los Nogales vineyard, a winery from Curico Valley which is fully dedicated to developing the business of wine services to different customers. Such services consider from harvesting the grapes to making wines and preparing purchase orders to be exported. In 2022, Paula joined FSP CHILE’s project to develop its own wines, given the fact of the experience that Paula brings to this project, its infrastructure and the access to growing or buying top quality grapes for each wine range.
CHINA
Ningxia - Helan Mountain - China - Since 2020
Having travelled, observing, tasting and studying wine for many years, our choice logically turned to the Ningxia region as it is the best wine producing region in China. The Helan mountain stretches for 200 km from North to South and is a natural barrier that protects the vineyards from cold winds. The Yellow River runs almost 400km long through Ningxia and provides life to this desert insuring the minimum water supply to the vine through controlled irrigation. One of the unique feature of the Ningxia wine-producing region is the necessity to bury the vines during winter to protect it from the heavy frost from November until March. Due to the climate, we can have recourse to a "clean" culture with reasoned and sustainable viticulture, in order to reveal the complexity of its terroir and the possible diversity of grape varieties which evolve in a remarkable way, at the foot of the Helan mountain. « Le Sixième Élément » is born, from the Helan mountain in Ningxia region, located on the center-west part of China. The terroir and climate there reminds a lot “Mendoza” in Argentina. Le Sixième Élément is the fusion of a French and Chinese collaboration and know-how from FSP and a local wine-grower, using international grapes that evolve well on this region, such as chardonnay, pinot noir, cabernet sauvignon, merlot and marselan.
