more use the scrollbar to navigate the website florens louis heidsieck the daring founder it all began with florens louis heidsieck . born in westphalia in 1749 this son of a protestant minister started out as a draper in reims where he fell in love with a girl from champagne and with the wine from champagne . he was a self educated man overcome with the incredible ambition to make a cuv e worthy of a queen . in 1785 he founded the cloth and wine trading company heidsieck & co. he straightaway made his name with a distinctive champagne whose reputation quickly spread beyond the local region and won favour at court . next florens louis heidsieck 1749 1828 a henri guillaume piper the passionate promoter on the death of florens louis heidsieck in 1828 christian heidsieck his nephew and henri guillaume piper a talented man with tremendous business acumen joined forces . from hapsburg princes to chinese emperors 14 royal and imperial courts granted him the distinction of becoming their authorised supplier . high society around the world coveted the piper by heidsieck . in 1835 christian heidsieck suddenly died and in 1838 his wife remarried henri guillaume piper . and thus the piper heidsieck brand was born . next henri guillaume piper 1802 1870 a extraordinary resilience upon the death of henri guillaume in 1870 jacques charles th odore kunkelmann a partner since 1851 took over the reins at piper heidsieck . in 1892 his son ferdinand th odore succeeded him . his daughter yolande married the marquis jean de suarez d aulan in 1926 . a pioneering aviator this amazing man came onto the scene and promoted the maison all around the world from behind the controls of his own aircraft . during the second world war this tireless and courageous man of action agreed to hide weapons in his cellars for use by the champagne resistance . and the eve of his arrest by the gestapo he escaped to north africa where he became a fighter pilot for the famous lafayette escadrille squadron and died in combat in 1944 . the piper heidsieck maison was placed under sequestration by the occupying forces . after the liberation of france the maison would almost certainly have collapsed if it had not been brilliantly relaunched by his wife yolande seconded by general d al s whom she would later marry in 1945 . next a plane from the famous lafayette escadrille squadron . the marquis jean de suarez d aulan died in combat in 1944 . a a family affair fran ois d aulan the eldest son of the marquis jean de suarez d aulan and yolande kunkelmann took over the business in 1957 he presided over piper heidsieck champagnes for thirty three years . during this time he focused on the development of the company and the preservation of the family heritage . in 1988 he passed on the torch to the h riard dubreuil family who consolidated the international development of the maison . then in 2011 the descours family took over the reins . christopher descours grandson of jean louis descours a major figure in the national council of french employers who holds the future of this great maison in his hands . what a history next a a precious balance the beautiful region of champagne does indeed produce the most discerning and delicate sparkling wines in the world . however making wine here on the northern limit for vine growing is an extremely daring undertaking . of course the piper hiedsieck maison owns precious wine growing land from the montagne de reims to the c te des bar . however the majority of the hundred growths used for the blending of its signature cuv e a full bodied wine come from growths carefully chosen from those most representative of the diversity grown in champagne . from amongst the region s traditional grape varieties a privileged place is given to pinot noir 55 to 60 % . it gives structure to the composition . chardonnay grapes 10 to 15 % add elegant
