十八世紀一位出身現今德國西發利亞地區的Florens-Louis Heidsieck來到法國香檳區首府Reims經商,然後在1785年創立了以自己姓氏為品牌的香檳廠,他過世後三個姪子繼承他的事業,但是在1838年拆夥各自獨立,1839年Henri Piper加入了其中一家,因而更名為Piper-Heidsieck。
1990年Piper-Heidsieck被人頭馬君度集團(Rémy
Cointreau)買下,也讓本酒廠的品質有進一步的提升。其產品典型的風格是口感輕盈圓柔,帶有甜美易飲的果味。

The 2008 Brut Cuvée Rare, now re-baptized as "Rare Champagne," continues to evolve at a glacial pace. Offering up aromas of citrus oil, freshly baked bread and wet stones, it's medium to full-bodied, taut and incisive, with a tangy spine of acidity and a pretty pinpoint mousse, but much in the way of texture or amplitude has yet to emerge. While I continue to think that this has the makings of a very attractive bottling, continued patience is advised.
