Who is Florens-Louis Heidsieck?
Florens-Louis Heidsieck was the founder of the Champagne house Heidsieck & Co from which later Piper-Heidsieck was spun off, and which was the start of the Heidsieck Champagne clan. Heidsieck was the son of a Lutheran minister from Westphalia, and had moved to Reims to work as a cloth merchant. In Reims, he went into winemaking and started producing his own wine in 1780.
Florens-Louis Heidsieck founded his eponymously named Champagne house in 1785. His nephew Christian Heidsieck joined the company in 1800, and Henri-Guillaume Piper in 1815. Christian Heidsieck took over the control of Heidsieck & Co after Florens-Louis' death in 1828, while Piper handled sales.
