✨ Technical Specifications
In 1999, the worlds of haute couture and fine Champagne collided when Piper-Heidsieck collaborated with legendary fashion designer Jean Paul Gaultier to dress their signature Brut NV. Gaultier famously clad the bottle in a provocative, red vinyl corset, laced up the back—a nod to both his iconic fashion designs and the sensual, daring spirit of the house. Inside the bottle is Piper-Heidsieck's classic non-vintage blend, which relies heavily on Pinot Noir for structure, Pinot Meunier for fleshy red fruit character, and Chardonnay for elegance and freshness. Sourced from over 100 crus across Champagne, this cuv e is aged on its lees for a minimum of 30 months, resulting in a vibrant, toasted brioche and citrus-forward profile that perfectly matches its high-fashion exterior.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1785 by Florens-Louis Heidsieck in Reims, Piper-Heidsieck is one of the oldest and most prestigious Champagne houses in France. Built upon a legacy of royal patronage—famously creating a cuvée for Queen Marie Antoinette—the house later cemented its historic identity through the partnership of Christian Heidsieck and Henri-Guillaume Piper. Today, under the ownership of the EPI Group, the maison is celebrated for its dynamic, Pinot Noir-dominant house style that emphasizes vibrancy, freshness, and structure. Piper-Heidsieck's portfolio, led by its signature Cuvée Brut and intensely fruit-forward Rosé Sauvage, reflects a commitment to sustainable viticulture and cellar master precision across the finest crus of Champagne.
