Faire La Fête is France’s answer to making champagne affordable again by offering consumers the same traditional quality of $60+ Champagnes at a third of the price. Faire La Fête is the original champagne® produced in Limoux, France, the birthplace of sparkling wine in 1531. Sustainably hand-harvested, bottle aged, and less than half the sugar of tank-fermented Prosecco, Faire La Fête is convincing American consumers who love French champagne but couldn’t afford it for anytime celebration, that they now can. Très joy! In 2020, Faire La Fête was awarded the registered trademark of “the original champagne” from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Faire La Fête is the only brand that holds and can use the phrase “the original champagne” in the United States. History of Limoux: Sparkling wine in Limoux predates the Champagne region by more than 150 years. There are 41 villages in Limoux, France. The same families have been growing grapes there since the 1500’s. Benedictine monks in the abbeys around Limoux made wine from the grapes of the region every year. But a happy accident at the Saint Hilaire Abbey in 1531 produced the first sparkling wine, thus the first official documentation of sparkling wine production in France. The monks of Saint Hilaire perfected the process of making sparkling wine, now known as the traditional method (méthode traditionnelle). It wasn’t until the early 1700’s when a monk named Dom Pierre Pérignon brought the process 900km north to Champagne that the Champagne region began producing sparkling wine. The style was quickly popularized from there and sparkling wine was called champagne across the globe for the next 200+ years.
