Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

“We’re really starting to see the impact of working the different plots separately. We’re refining how we farm each separate plot, from pruning to de-budding, the canopy work we do, how we work the soils and where we use horses,” Paul Krug explained, in reference to a new level of precision that you can feel in the 2022. Vinification takes place on a parcel-by-parcel basis, with the assemblage done at the end of élevage. An exceptionally refined Pommard, this is floral, perfumed and ornate at first, with very precise plum and cherry fruit below. Fine-grained rocks offer up a core of minerality, over which sits tight knit fruit with a haunting wild cherry finish. Textured and also taut, giving more and more the longer it sits in the glass. Wonderful!

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

90-92/100

Neal Martin,

Vinous

The 2022 Pommard Clos de la Commaraine 1er Cru is the monopole of the new Domaine that lies directly behind the luxury hotel that is currently under construction. The perfumed bouquet brings pressed violet and mainly black fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with black fruit and a nagging herbaceous note underneath. It is very structured in the mouth and slightly powdery towards the finish with an off-dry finish. It's missing a bit of charm and precision at the moment, though it does cohere in the glass.
