GUARANTEED PROVENANCE

Provenance in fine wine

When it comes to purchasing wine, provenance is of utmost 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

William Kelley,

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The second wine of Belair Monange, the 2019 Annonce exhibits aromas of cassis and wild berries mingled with hints of raw cocoa and creamy new oak. Medium to full-bodied, rich and concentrated, with a ripe core of fruit, powdery tannins and succulent acids, it's a solid effort that will reward a bit of bottle age.

Neal Martin,

The 2019 Annonce de Bélair-Morange, the Deuxième Vin, has a perfumed, more floral bouquet than the Troisième Vin, a stony/limestone element percolating through the carapace of red fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins. This feels cohesive and smooth, perhaps just missing a little amplitude toward the finish, though it feels reassuringly persistent. Give it two or three years in bottle.

Jane Anson,

The tannins are tight and austere right now, and need a few years to soften, but there is precision, and the same chiselled fruit profile that you find in the main wine of Belair-Monange. Bilberry and black cherry fruit, juicy finish, the limestone impact is clear. 2nd wine of Belair Monange. Harvest September 19 to October 4.
