Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

These are very rare, released in editions of just a few hundred bottles a time, disgorged after 24 years sur lie in Philipponnat’s deep cellars. It offers a stunning combination of maturity and freshness, one that can only come from combining exceptional initial champagne, with patience. Ripe fruit, spice, and a combination of breadth and levity that only truly great champagne can achieve. A wine for the table, this will be a shape shifting beauty to follow right down to the very last drop of the bottle.

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.

Jane Anson,

Inside Bordeaux

Fully in the sweet spot, ready to share. White truffles, soft baking spice, brioche, candied orange, saffron, tobacco leaf, crushed elderflowers, preserved lemons and nectarine pit. A beautiful Champagne that is fully in its gourmet, vinous stage. 4.5g/l dosage. Charles Philipponnat first vintage, less than 1,000 bottles on this release, fermented half stainless steel and half in Burgundy barrels.

Kristaps Karklins,

Vinous

Philipponnats 2000 Clos des Goisses L.V., now fully mature in both hue and aromatic promise, bursts from the glass with generous notes of ripe pear, honeycomb, orange zest and acacia blossom. Sourced from one of the hottest vintages of its time, it is full-bodied and enveloping, with ripe yet energetic acidity. Notably, the wine was vinified entirely in stainless steel tanks. Disgorged in March 2025 with the customary dosage of 4.5 grams per liter, this is a straightforward, expressive Clos des Goisses. However, one should not expect the structural harmony this site has achieved in its finest vintages. While this isnt a historic Clos des Goisses, the 2000 is drinking at its peak today.
