Piper-Heidsieck - Marilyn's Champagne

A Champagne whose name is a guarantee for many, proof of royal families and big stars who have made Hollywood history. Queen Marie Antoinette, who will become the maison's first brand ambassador, guarantees it directly, thanks to the gift of a bottle of this precious Champagne, in 1785, by her creator, the stubborn and self-titled Florens-Louis Heidsieck. After Florens-Louis's death in 1828, his nephew Christian Heidsieck became a partner of Henri-Guillaume Piper, a man with a great sense of business: it was during this period that 14 royal houses certified the Maison as their official supplier . But it will be Marilyn Monroe to consecrate him in the Olympus of myths, when, with his typical way of doing graceful and elegant, he says: “I go to bed only with a drop of Chanel n ° 5 and get up with a glass of Piper-Heidsieck ".
