“We are extremely proud of our five-year partnership with the Oscars and are particularly excited to be pouring Piper-Heidsieck Brut for the 91st ceremony,” declared Benoit Collard, General Manager for Piper-Heidsieck. “This bottle represents the eternal union of the Red and the Gold – the glamour of the red carpet and the prestige of the gold statuette. These symbols have been the source of inspiration for the limited edition bottle created especially for the Academy. This Champagne, bottled in Reims and enjoyed in Los Angeles, is the very expression of the universal magic of cinema, to which we are paying tribute.”
As in previous years, the Piper-Heidsieck limited-edition magnum is custom made for the Oscars and features the House’s signature Cuvée Brut and will be poured exclusively at the awards ceremony and Governors Ball, the Academy’s official Oscars after-party. In addition to the awards ceremony on February 24, Piper-Heidsieck champagne will be poured at Academy events in Los Angeles, New York and London, including the Oscars Nominees Luncheon on February 4, as well as the Governors Ball.

A Grand & Bold Story with the Cinema
The house has long supported cinema with boldness and grandeur, dating back to 1933, when a bottle of Piper-Heidsieck appeared in SONS OF THE DESERT, the debut film of Laurel and Hardy. In 1964, Piper-Heidsieck celebrated Rex Harrison’s Oscar for his role in MY FAIR LADY with a tailor-made 48-liter bottle that was literally as tall as the 5-foot-10 actor. Piper-Heidsieck continues to support the enrichment and preservation of film heritage through the French Cinémathèque and has been the official champagne of the International Cannes Film Festival for more than two decades.
