Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

The 2006 vintage from Clos des Goisses has now bowled us over on two tasting occasions. The impressively steep, south facing aspect of the Goisses vineyard, that leads down to the River Marne (one reason for such consistent ripeness) has produced a wine of considerable concentration and length, fabulously ripe fruit and the structure and tension for extended cellaring. It is as good as anything we’ve tasted from the 2006 vintage. The vital statistics are as follows: 65% Pinot Noir, 35% Chardonnay, 4.5 g/l of dosage, disgorged May 2015 after 8 years sur lie.

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.

Critic Reviews

95/100

Kristaps Karklins,

Vinous

Disgorged in 2015 with the customary dosage of 4.5 grams per liter, Philipponnats 2006 Clos des Goisses reveals a generous bouquet of ripe strawberry, pastry, pear and peach mingling with nuances of lemon confit. On the palate, it is full-bodied, broad-shouldered and textural, displaying a fleshy, expansive profile with a rich core of fruit, ripe yet vibrant acidity, a pillowy mousse and long, enveloping finish. While undeniably charming, it is also softer and more approachable than its successorsoffering a more muscular interpretation of this historic vineyard site. One should not overlook the fact that 2006 ranks among the highest-yielding and lowest-acid vintages of the past quarter-century. That said, it will offer considerable pleasure to the fortunate few who own a bottle and are inclined to open it in the near term.
