Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

We were bewitched by its refined, deft and gliding quality. The flavours roll seamlessly across the palate, exhibiting beautifully bright and immediately seductive cherry, Victoria plum, wild strawberry and cherry blossom characteristics. Louis-Michel Liger-Belair is taking care of the ageing and bottling on our behalf. The Hospices de Beaune own a prime swathe of Mazis-Chambertin, 1.74ha, situated in the “Mazis Haut” at the heart of the hillside, on the same contours as its next door neighbour Clos de Bèze. Two thirds of this plot were planted in 1947. It was donated to the Hospices in 1976 by Jean Collignon, in memory of his mother. Although 2016 was a relatively late vintage, by recent standards, Mazis was unaffected by frost that year and therefore ripened evenly and without too much delay. The year also marks the second vintage with Ludivine Griveau in charge of the winemaking, the first female winemaker at the Hospices since 1443! With as much rigour in the vineyards as her predecessor, Roland Masse, and with a tendency to lighten the winemaking and lessen the impact of oak on the wines, the future for the quality of the Hospices wines looks bright indeed.

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.
