Piper-Heidsieck named Oscars Champagne
By Rupert MillarPiper-Heidsieck has been named as the exclusive Champagne of the Academy Awards in a deal set to last three years.
Piper’s brut and rosé will be the pouring Champagnes at the pre-show of the 87th Academy Awards being held in Hollywood on 22 February.
Piper and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have struck a three year partnership which will see the Champagne poured at successive Oscar ceremonies.
Cécile Bonnefond, president and CEO of Piper-Heidsieck, commented: “We are proud to partner with the Academy and are committed to building an enduring relationship over the three-year partnership.
“Our Champagnes are an invitation to celebrate life and the emotions that make it grand. There is nothing more grand than receiving a coveted Oscar. It is therefore very natural for Piper-Heidsieck to be serving its champagnes at the Oscars ceremony.”
