Producer
Piper-Heidsieck
It all began when Florens-Louis Heidsieck of Riems fell in love with a girl from Champagne. In 1785, the former draper, founded the Cloth and Wine Trading Company Heidsieck & Co. His wines quickly gained wide appraise, even becoming one of the Royal Court’s favorites. Following his passing in 1828, Florens-Louis’ nephew, Christian Heidsieck, and a brilliant businessman, Henri-Guillaume Piper joined forces. After Christian’s sudden death in 1835, his wife remarried Henri-Guillaume, and thus the Piper-Heidsieck brand was born. Known as the world’s most favorite Champagne, the brand has remained under the Descours’ ownership since 2011. Today, Jean-Louis Descours, along with the new president of the house, Damien Lafaurie, work towards the brand’s new image – focusing heavily on the quality of the wine. Piper-Heidsieck still remains one of the greatest value-for-money authentic Champagnes on the market. Their quality wines are crisp and elegant, with a depth and complexity that contradicts the price.
