Brand Piper-Heidsieck

It was Florens-Louis Heidsieck, originally from Westphalia, who founded the linen and Champagne wine merchant Heidsieck et Cie in 1785 in Reims. He even had the privilege of presenting his wine to the Queen of France Marie-Antoinette.

When Florens-Louis Heidsieck died in 1828, it was his nephew Christian Heidsieck who continued the activity by partnering with Henri-Guillaume Piper. The house takes off but in 1835 Christian Heidsieck died and it was then that his wife remarried to Henri-Guillaume Piper, who gave his name to the house by now calling it Piper-Heidsieck.
