✨ Technical Specifications
The Piper-Heidsieck Prohibition Edition is a historical tribute to the Roaring Twenties, an era when the United States banned alcohol, yet Champagne remained the ultimate symbol of celebration and rebellion in underground speakeasies. Piper-Heidsieck was famously smuggled into the US during this period, becoming a favorite pour of the jazz-age elite. This special bottling houses the classic, structured style of the maison's signature Brut. It is built around a backbone of Pinot Noir, which provides structure and power, complemented by the roundness of Pinot Meunier and the elegance of Chardonnay. Sourced from over 100 different crus, the wine undergoes traditional bottle fermentation and aging on its lees, resulting in a vibrant, crisp profile defined by fresh pear, citrus, and toasted brioche.
🍾 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.
