Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Moulin St Georges occupies a great position just to the southeast of St Emilion town on clay and limestone soils. The father and daughter team of Alain and Pauline Vauthier at neighbouring Chateau Ausone, tend the vines. Produced from 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, as usual there is more than a hint of hedgerow fruit, fresh herbs, ferrous notes, tobacco, dried fruits and wildflowers. The palate is packed with notes of creme de mûre - sweet and unctuous, but taut and vibrant. Finishes with plenty of energy and notes of cassis, blackberry and salts.

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

93/100

Chris Kissack,

The Wine Independent

This is a traditional blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, with an élevage lasting 18 months in oak barrels, using 100% new oak, with a gentle toast. Sweet confit blackcurrants and blackberries on the nose, with black bean, rose petal and sooty complexities. The palate presents the same fragrant and cleanly defined fruit character, supported by a rich grip of tannins, very pure and firmly composed, with fresh acidity. A finely structured finish, with a rounding up of the tannins and fragrant fruit into a decent length. A very convincing Moulin Saint-Georges this year, elegant but with great cellaring potential. The confit concentration is matched by a higher alcohol here, declared on the label as 15%, which does not show on the palate. It will be fascinating to see how this ages.

This has the joy of 2022 with the depth of Moulin St Georges, salty, saline, oyster shell, juicy, crushed rocks, coffee, cocoa bean, liquorice, espresso, saffron and sage. 100% new oak. Harvest September 19 to 26. A buy, wonderful stuff from the team at Ausone.

The 2022 Moulin Saint-Georges has really opened up on the nose since tasting from barrel. It's plusher and opulent than it showed then, with layers of black cherry, cassis fruit, orange pith and glycerine. The palate is medium-bodied and velvety smooth, with lush tannins and a dash of cracked black pepper on the finish. There is structure and sapidity here. This is a stylish Moulin Saint-Georges that should age well.

William Kelley,

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Unwinding in the glass with aromas of dark berries, cherries, violets and creamy new oak, the 2022 Moulin St Georges is medium to full-bodied, ample and fleshy, with powdery tannins and a taut, chalky profile. It should flesh out further with additional elevage.
