Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

This Suntory owned chateau is one of the largest productions of the Medoc. Produced from 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, the 2022 shows a good core of juicy purple fruit. It's uncomplicated, well balanced with plenty of fragrant fruit and well-judged, ripe tannins. It'll be a good early drinker.

GUARANTEED PROVENANCE

Provenance in fine wine

When it comes to purchasing wine, provenance is of upmost importance. A wine’s history – where it’s sourced from and how it’s been stored – can have an enormous influence on the eventual enjoyment it provides. At Justerini & Brooks, we can trace nearly every case back to the domaine, estate or Château it originally came from; we ship from over 200 wine producers throughout the world.

Wines not bought directly from the vineyard are either sourced from trusted suppliers, with whom we share the same philosophy and rigour in buying, or from our own network of Cellarers customers. These customers’ wines are stored in optimal conditions in Octavian Corsham and, in the vast majority of cases, have been stored by us since the wine was first shipped. We do not purchase wine from auctions.

We feel it is equally important to for our customers that the case they buy and leave in storage with us is exactly the same case they subsequently have delivered. This may sound obvious and straightforward, yet we are one of very few merchants to have taken measures to ensure this.

We have created a system where every case is independent, thereby ensuring a trail of ownership and peace of mind for every customer.

The Journey

Justerinis ensures that every case of wine stored with Cellarers (Wines) Ltd has a unique identifier and customer’s name, almost unheard of in the industry as it is expensive to administer. These details are printed and placed on every case which is logged and recorded under your account name and kept in the world’s most renowned storage facility, Octavian Corsham.

This information is sent from our systems to the warehouse every day to ensure the trail of ownership is verified and upheld.

While customer reserves are stored in Corsham, our physical stocks are kept in Hoddesdon, further providing a geographical separation between customers’ wines with Cellarers and Justerinis’ own stock.

Further Reassurance

Cellarers (Wines) Ltd is a legally separate limited company from Justerini & Brooks which currently holds approximately £450 million worth of customer reserves. It is fully insured to catastrophic loss. Many merchants will state that wine in their care is fully insured, but in reality this is on an individual case basis with insufficient cover for total loss as this is prohibitively expensive. The cover provided by Octavian and Justerini & Brooks is unmatched.

Cellarers (Wines) Ltd is audited by PwC every year.

Critic Reviews

Jane Anson,

Inside Bordeaux

Good depth through the palate, plenty of espresso, cocoa bean, brambled blackberry and blueberry fruit, touch of austerity to the tannins at this point, in a way that suggests confidence in ageing. Grand Millésimes de France, director Anthony Yaigre, well located estate in Cussac-Fort-Médoc, 28hl/h yield from sandy-gravel soils.

Neal Martin,

Vinous

The 2022 Beaumont has a classy bouquet with blackberry, wild hedgerow, iodine and subtle iris flower scents. The oak is neatly integrated, and it retains delineation. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins, fleshy and almost creamy in texture. With good depth and light spice, the 2022 is cohesive on the finish. This will be a thoroughly enjoyable Beaumont that should age well in bottle. Tasted thrice with consistent notes.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown,

The Wine Independent

The 2022 Beaumont, a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, and 5% Cabernet Franc, is deep garnet-purple in color. Notes of black cherries, mulberries, and plum preserves jump from the glass, giving way to suggestions of menthol, cardamom, and violets. The medium-bodied palate is coated with ripe black fruit, supported by grainy tannins and just enough freshness, finishing savory.
