Since Louis CALLOT’s birth in Avize in 1784, six successive generations have been involved with vines and wine, but it was not until 1955 that Pierre CALLOT created his own brand. As he was short of space, in 1971 he bought up the PIPER HEIDSIECK house and vineyard buildings. Since 1996, Thierry, the youngest of his four sons, has been running the family business.
