The Arlaux family acquired the vineyards and estate that were to become their eponymous Champagne house in 1792, when the property was seized from the Royal Abbey of Saint-Remi post-revolution. Subsisting on grinding out basic table wines for three decades, it wasn't until 1826 that they produced their first bottle of Champagne. Their Chardonnay-based Speciale Reserve is lees-aged for 10 years.
