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

Lisa Perrotti-Brown,

Deep garnet-purple in color. Features notes of fresh blackberries and just-ripe plums with hints of Sichuan pepper, forest floor, and potpourri. The light to medium-bodied palate is bright and breezy with just enough freshness and lightly chewy tannins, finishing savory.

Neal Martin,

The 2024 Moulin Riche was picked between September 24 and October 10 and underwent some reverse osmosis, especially the Merlot. This has a more expressive bouquet than the preceding Pavillon de Léoville Poyferré, with iodine and blueberry unfolding in the glass. The palate is supple and fleshy on the entry with a smooth texture, quite polished tannins and a fresh, harmonious finish. This is much better than you'd think and well worth seeking out.

Jane Anson,

Vivid summery fruit character, with cheerful ruby red colour, with spice, freshly cut herbs, slate and graphite adding depth and interest. Lovely texture overall but needs a bit of time to soften, suggest four years before drinking. Harvest 24 September to 10 October. 3.62 pH. 26.42hl/ha

William Kelley,

The 2024 Moulin Riche offers up aromas of cassis, cigar wrapper and oak, followed by a medium-bodied palate with a fleshy attack that segues into a somewhat angular and drying mid-palate and finish.
