Produced from low yielding, hand harvested vines and made using traditional techniques, D'Arry's Original is a smooth, textured, full bodied red which typifies the generous McLaren style. Always one of those little cellar stars that you can buy up a case or two, hide under the house for a decade and be quietly content that d'Arry's Original will be shining in a decade.

A myriad of mulberry, wild thyme and enticing savoury undertones are interwoven with layers of ripe summer berries. The palate displays both generosity and restraint, with plump and supple tannins that are supported by an amalgam of summer ripened plums.

Product Description: Pinot precision from a prized Vosne lieu-dit. The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Les Damaudes from Pierre-Vincent Girardin delivers a vivid snapshot of site and winemaker in sync. This rare parcel sits just above the hallowed Vosne 1er Cru Malconsorts at 300–350 metres elevation, planted with vines over 50 years old. It’s a wine of altitude, energy and poise. Girardin treats this terroir with finesse: whole-cluster fermented, matured 11 months in oak (one-third new), then a short stint in steel before bottling unfined and unfiltered. The result is a racy, blackcurrant-fruited Pinot with sculpted tannins and a mineral backbone that reflects its clay-limestone soils. Structured yet supple, this cuvée will reward cellaring for 6 to 12 years. Ideal with game birds, roast lamb, or a pan-seared foie gras. The Maker Pierre-Vincent Girardin cut his teeth under Burgundy’s grand domaines, then struck out on his own in 2012 with a singular goal: to distil the purest essence of Meursault’s storied terroir. Working single-parcel parcels across premier lieu-dits, he tends each vine personally—pruning, ploughing and hand-harvesting to ensure fruit arrives at the winery in immaculate condition. His background in oenology underpins a thoughtful, measured approach: fermentation is guided but never forced, and élevage prioritises transparency over showmanship. At the winery, Girardin champions whole-cluster vinification, letting indigenous yeasts and gentle extraction shape each cuvée. He favours large-format, 456-litre barrels (half new) to temper oak’s footprint, then finishes in stainless steel to lock in freshness and purity. Unfined and unfiltered, his wines arrive in bottle as faithful ambassadors of their origin—alive with mineral energy and poised acidity. Today, Pierre-Vincent’s range stands as a testament to small-scale craft. With annual production measured in thousands—not tens of thousands—of bottles, each release feels personal: a snapshot of vintage nuances and a window into Girardin’s relentless quest for balance. His wines are never ostentatious; they simply do their job with quiet confidence. Philosophy At the heart of Girardin’s endeavour lies a reverence for soil. His parcels—Casse-Têtes, Sous la Velle and La Barre Dessus—are chosen for their limestone-marl matrices, each site imparting its own textural signature. By isolating micro-terroirs, he lets geology speak: gunflint minerality, bright citrus tension and the chalky grip that defines top-flight Meursault. Sustainability is more than a buzzword here. Girardin farms organically, accepts vintage variability and avoids chemical shortcuts. Low yields are a feature, not a flaw; they concentrate flavour and ensure vines remain vigorous for generations to come. Every vineyard intervention—from cover crops to canopy management—is calibrated to nurture biodiversity and soil health. In cellar, restraint rules. Fermentation vessels are selected for nuance, élevage schedules are dictated by tasting rather than tradition, and assemblages are kept minimal to preserve site identity. Through these choices, the Girardin range emerges as a cohesive narrative: a clear, unvarnished voice that invites drinkers to explore Meursault one parcel at a time.
