Wine for sale: Piper Heidsieck

Piper Heidsieck

The story began in the mid-18th century, when Florens-Louis Heidsieck moved to Reims, married a native of Champagne and started a career as a wine merchant. He was soon immensely successful, even presenting his wines to Marie-Antoinette. Unsurprisingly, all of Europe's courts served this wine. It was bought by Jean-Louis Descours in 2011 and is now managed by his grandson Christofer Descours.
