About the Piper-Heidsieck Champagne House
Piper-Heidsieck was founded in 1785 by Florens-Louis Heidsieck. His ambition was to create a Champagne worthy of a queen, and that same year he presented his wine to Marie Antoinette. His nephew Christian Heidsieck later continued the business and joined forces with businessman Henri-Guillaume Piper. This partnership eventually gave rise to the Champagne House we know today as Piper-Heidsieck.
Based in Reims, Piper-Heidsieck is known for its lively, fruit-driven and expressive style, with pinot noir playing an important role. Under the direction of Cellar Master Émilien Boutillat, Piper-Heidsieck combines its long tradition with a strong focus on sustainability and innovation. The house is B Corp certified.

- Piper-Heidsieck Rosé Sauvage: a powerful and expressive rosé in which pinot noir takes centre stage. A proportion of the pinot noir is added as red wine, contributing to its deep colour and pronounced fruit character, with aromas including wild strawberry, black cherry and blood orange.
- Piper-Heidsieck Essentiel Blanc de Blancs: an Extra Brut Champagne made from 100% chardonnay. Its style is fresh, precise and mineral, with notes of citrus, white flowers and toasted bread.
