Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Wonderful red fruits combine with chalky minerality and notes of rose and Szechuan peppercorn in this finely etched Pinot that grows in the glass and flows across the palate in a linear progression of highly pixelated flavours. This is tightly packed, full of verve as it drops beautiful red fruits and citrus across the palate. The spice is wrapped up in fine minerality for the time being, but this will almost certainly blossom. Grown up stuff. A blend of 72% Pinot Noir, 38% Chardonnay disgorged in March 2019 after 10 years on the lees with a dosage of 4.5g per litre. Just 5212 bottles produced.

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.

William Kelley,

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Disgorged in March 2019 with 4.5 grams per liter dosage, the 2008 Extra Brut Rose Premier Cru 1522 may be the finest rendition of this cuvee to date. Opening in the glass with aromas of red berries, fresh peach, rose petal and spices including cardamon and cinnamon, it's medium to full-bodied, vinous and textural, with excellent concentration and a structured core, girdled by lively acids and concluding with a long and mineral finish.

Antonio Galloni,

Vinous

The 2008 1522 Rosé offers a super-appealing combination of forward fruit and the brisk underlying energy that is such a signature of the year. Red berry and floral notes build in a creamy, beautifully textured Champagne endowed with terrific depth and density. The 1522 Rosé is built off a core of the 1522 Blanc with both still red and saginée Pinot, which gives it more color and richness stylistically than the Clos des Goisses Juste Rosé. Dosage is 4.25 grams per liter.
