The history of the Champagne district of France is storied. The romance of the beverage and the cultural impact is even more influential in our lives. Piper Heidsieck is in the middle of this history and we had the lead winemaker in the house to talk all things Champagne. Emilien Boutillat stopped in to chat about the district, the winery, the philosophy, and the methods at this fabled winery.

Have a listen to gain a new appreciation of Champagne and sparkling wine as a whole.
