Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Justerini & Brooks, Justerini & Brooks, Sarcey, Brut, Vintage Reserve, Champagne, 2012

Here is vintage Champagne of enormous character that will appeal to those who enjoy a little age on their fizz and shy away from more austere examples. It is a predominantly Chardonnay blend of 1er and Grand Cru fruit, a big chunk of which comes from Vertus, vinified entirely in steel having gone through full malolactic fermentation. It smells like crème pâtissier, honey, brioche and almonds, with a tiny snip of lemon zest and a puff of chalk to nimbly counter the richness. The palate is remarkably fine, with a gentle bead, surprising freshness and an overall sense of easy balance; notes of citrus pulp, chalk and fresh bread spread across the palate.

Justerini & Brooks

The design and selection of our House range is quite literally, an ongoing project. Tastings are numerous and rigorous; our aim is to find wines that we believe are both representative of their origins and that have an extra quality over and above our competitors' equivalents. Wines that do not continue to produce the quality we expect we de-list. Our current house list represents a selection of old favourites, 61 Reserve Claret, Pomerol, Sarcey and 250th Cuvee Champagnes and Directors Tawny. Alongside these is our newest label, our House Red Burgundy which has been praised time and again by clients and press alike. It is a real filip to our range and now comes from one of the great names in the Côte-de-Nuits. With grapes from in-and-around the villages of Vosne and Nuits it is utterly pure and refined red burgundy at a price that simply cannot be beaten.
