Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

A blend of 82% Pinot noir, from Le Leon, but also Mailly and Verzy, alongside 17% Chardonnay from Verzy. The red component is a still red produced from the upper sections of Clos des Goisses. Less rich and vinous than the preceding 2012 release – to be expected given the cooler season - the 2014 is a cut glass rose with great detail and definition. Fine red fruits, typical spice notes, blood orange and a very light smokiness define the palate. As the flavours unwind it’s saying, please put me in a big glass! Crisp yet composed, this is a beautiful rose that would be very at home on a table full of fine food; lamb or shellfish spring to mind. Disgorged after 8 years sur lie, with 4.25g of dosage.

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.

Critic Reviews

William Kelley,

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Disgorged in May 2022, Philipponnat's 2014 Extra-Brut Rose Premier Cru 1522 wafts from the glass with aromas of peaches and other sweet stone fruits mingled with hints of tangerine, buttery pastry and spices. Medium to full-bodied, bright and tensile, it's still tightly wound after its recent disgorgement, with a coiled mid-palate that I suspect will unfurl to offer charming, demonstrative drinking.
