Justerini & Brooks Tasting note
Les Perrieres hails from a wonderful 3 hectare site on deep limestone planted with Bouchet and Merlot massale selections from Lafleur. It is quite remarkable that the oldest vines in the blend were only planted in 2016, yet the wines they produce are already so complete and complex. Glorious aromas of cassis, eucalyptus, fine herbs, fresh cherries and minerals emerge from the glass. This clearly has a limestone DNA. Coiled, taut, focussed, this is packed with detailed fruit: juicy, perfumed, engaging, vital, sparkling with red fruits and berries. There's a strong vineyard personality developing here. The signature is the finish – the fine, linear tannins are so long and complex, laced with salt and graphite. Absolutely stunning!

DELIVERY
How much is delivery
Delivery is free to mainland Great Britain and other bonded warehouses for orders over £200 (inc. VAT) in value. For orders under the value of £200 destined for mainland Great Britain there is a delivery charge of £18 (inc. VAT).
All deliveries to mainland Great Britain coming from Cellarers will incur a delivery charge of £24 (inc. VAT). Cellarers Storage Charges.
Where are the wines stored and are they fully insured whilst in storage?
We store clients’ wines with a subsidiary company called Cellarers (Wines) Ltd, which is wholly owned by Justerini & Brooks but where clients’ wines are segregated from our own stock. The wines are stored at Octavian's industry-leading underground cellars in Corsham, Wiltshire, UK. All wines stored with Cellarers are individually labelled with clients’ details and are insured to current market value.
Can I ship outside of mainland Great Britain?
We offer regular shipments to Hong Kong from £90 per 9L case and £62 per 4.5L case. A discounted rate of £72 per 9L case may apply when shipping five or more cases to one address. Deliveries usually take approximately three weeks.
For deliveries to destinations other than mainland Great Britain or Hong Kong, please contact the Customer Relationship Team via email on justbrooksorders@justerinis.com for a quote.
Why can’t I request delivery of certain wines?
Most often, the reason you cannot request delivery of certain wines is that they are still ‘En Primeur’ and not yet in the country. Once they land in the UK, they will be available for Duty Paid Delivery. Click here for more information on buying En Primeur.
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.

Chris Kissack,

This vintage of Les Perrières from the Guinaudeau family is a blend of equal parts Merlot and Cabernet Franc, with an élevage in one-third new oak, the other two-thirds in second-fill barrels. A freshly opened sample bottle here, unlike the other Guinaudeau wines, as the first bottle of this was corked, so I came back to this one again at the end of the visit, A very pure, crushed berry and bramble fruits, with layers of dark chocolate and toast, with time more floral, iris and violet notes. The palate is no less focused than the nose, with a fresh layer of red cherry, leathery oak and a structure of dry and tight tannins, with fresh acidity. Lovely sappy quality to the finish here, a touch juicy and mouth-watering, but with a firm grip of tannins. The alcohol is 15% on the label, the same on analysis, but unlike Grand Village this does not show so strongly.

Gorgeous limestone focus, with liquorice bud, raspberry leaf, and clear verticality just in the aromatics. Pulses of electricity, blueberry and steel, mouthwatering and salivating, finessed tannins, a ton of lift, exciting to see how this ages. A wine that begs you to geek out, and you are only too happy to do so. Harvest 9 and 22 September, vines on 3.6ha of limestone plateau (the Lafleur team now has 15ha of land there, with more planted last year so now 5.2ha planted, waiting for production in 2027). 33% new oak for ageing.

The 2022 Les Perrières has opened up considerably since I tasted it from barrel. It's quite expressive with black cherry, blueberry and violet aromas and hints of crushed stone in the background. The Cabernet Franc is perhaps more vocal than the Merlot at the moment. The palate is medium-bodied with finely sculpted tannins and an unerring sense of symmetry underpinned by the acidic thread. The finish is clean, precise and lingers in the mouth. This is stunning.

The 2022 Les Perrieres de Lafleur shows just how adapted this higher-altitude site on the plateau of Fronsac is to warmer vintages. Wafting from the glass with aromas of mulberries and raspberries, sweet spices and rose petals, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, with racy acids and a taut, mineral profile. It's another brilliant effort from this visionary project.
