List of products by Maison Piper-Heidsieck
It all starts with Florens-Louis Heidsieck. Born in 1749, this son of a Protestant pastor from Westphalia moved to Reims as a clothier, where he fell in love with a Champagne ... and Champagne wine.
Self-taught, he is driven by a great ambition, "to create a cuvée worthy of a queen". In 1785, he founded the Champagne cloth and wine trading house Heidsieck & Cie.
He becomes a master of his art to the point of having the honor of presenting his wine himself to Queen Marie-Antoinette.
