Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

The 2019 Domaine de Cambes is back to its expressive and sumptuous best. Initially, there's an explosion of kirsch, plums and dried fruits, it's almost Amaroneesque. The palate is sweet and decadent, packed with exotic fruit. A lovely seam of acidity counterbalances the opulent fruit, providing freshness and zip. A very gratifying Domaine de Cambes, which will provide lots of early 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.

Critic Reviews

Lisa Perrotti-Brown,

The Wine Independent

Medium garnet-purple colored, the 2019 Domaine de Cambes charges out with rambunctious notes of plum preserves, stewed black cherries, and unsmoked cigars, plus suggestions of cedar, forest floor, and licorice. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is rich and chewy with loads of savory accents lifting the black fruit preserves flavors on the long finish.

Neal Martin,

Vinous

The 2019 Domaine des Cambes has a tightly wound bouquet that needs more time in the glass, opening to offer black cherries, boysenberry and a touch of wild heather, almost Burgundian in style. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, very well-judged acidity, and flavors of black plum mixed with soy, white pepper and clove that linger on the finish. Very fine.
