During the American Civil War, Heidsieck was imprisoned under suspicion of being a spy for the French government and the Confederacy. His imprisonment sparked an international incident between France and US over what became known as The Heidsieck Incident. His father, Charles-Henri Heidsieck, was also a champagne merchant who was famous for riding into Moscow on a white stallion in 1811 just ahead of Napoleon’s advancing army, arriving with cases of his champagne and his order book and ready to celebrate with whichever side would win the upcoming battle.
