Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Always one of the most consistent and best performing wines from the Medoc, Beaumont hails from a 100 hectare plot surrounding the chateau in Cussac. The 2023 is a blend of 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 6% Petit Verdot and offers a juicy core of fragrant fruit, well managed tannins and a refreshing acidity. A thoroughly charming and well-constructed Beaumont, which will give lots of early to mid-term drinking pleasure.

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.

Lisa Perrotti-Brown,

The Wine Independent

Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2023 Beaumont features notes of fresh redcurrants, raspberries, and underbrush plus hints of dried herbs and wet slate. The light to medium-bodied palate is refreshing and chewy, with lively red berry flavors and an herbal finish. The blend is 54% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, and 6% Petit Verdot.

Good quality, a little soft through the mid palate, but this has charm, and some balance, there are blackberry and red cherry fruits, soft tannins, well worked and charming, but drops and is overly oaked, drying finish. Grands Millésimes de France owner. Tasted twice. Bronze.

Neal Martin,

The 2023 Beaumont has a generous bouquet with a mixture of blackberries, red plums and sous-bois. It's not as powerful as the previous vintage, but there is always a sense of "honesty" about this Claret that I appreciate. The palate is medium-bodied with powdery tannins and fine acidity, quite smooth in texture, with a touch of savoriness on the finish. Enjoy it over six to eight years.
