Their action comes at the height of the Champagne grape harvest, but Remy Cointreau has sought to play down fears of any disruption. “There is no impact on the business,” a company spokesperson told just-drinks today (20 September).
“We hope this week that we will find an agreement,” she said, adding that talks between workers and the company were ongoing at Piper-Heidsieck’s headquarters in Reims.
Remy plans to cut up to 45 jobs from a Piper-Heisieck workforce of 160 as it seeks to restructure the business.
