The truth behind Piper-Heidsieck lies in the power of attraction

Steeped in history, innovation and excellence have been at the heart of Piper-Heidsieck since 1785 when Florens-Louis Heidsieck founded his Champagne House with the dream to create a ‘cuvée worthy of a queen’.  That dream was realized when he boldly presented his first cuvée to Queen Marie Antoinette and she declared love at first sip.  She quickly became the champagne’s first brand ambassador and when Henri-Guillaume Piper joined the Reims venture in 1815, he and Florens-Louis’ nephew Christian Heidsieck set out to promote the Champagne House’s reputation well beyond the borders of France.  Today, Piper-Heidsieck is poured in over 100 countries and is the most awarded Champagne House of the century, with over 275 medals.

It became universally sought out by high society, to include Hollywood’s rich and famous favorite, such as the incomparable Marilyn Monroe who has been quoted, “I go to bed with a few drops of Chanel No5 and I wake up each morning to a glass of Piper-Heidsieck; it warms me up”. Piper-Heidsieck’s red carpet reputation is world-renown at film festivals across the globe, and it is also  the official champagne of the Cannes Film Festival and of the Academy Awards (OSCARS).
