Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Royale Réserve Rosé is a complex, subtle bottle of rosé where the red wine component, generally 7-8% of the blend, comes from the upper sections of the Clos des Goisses vineyard. With up to 30% reserve wines, again from the new two stage perpetual reserve system and a dosage of 9 grams per litre, this is a rosé that is onion peel in colour, complex in flavour with a fine bead and lovely transparency of flavours. This has all the interest and complexity to work really well with food, but also the balance to make a very fine aperitif.

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

Sarah Mayo,

The Wine Independent

Based on the 2019 vintage with 27% of reserve wines kept in oak barrels, the Royale Reserve Brut Rosé is a 69% Pinot Noir, 29% Chardonnay and 2% Pinot Meunier assemblage rosé with around 7% still Pinot Noir that includes a small percentage of this is saignée wine taken off at the beginning of the red fermentation. Salmon pink colored with a velvety mousse, it fills the glass with flamboyant, fruity and fresh aromas of raspberries, red currant, quince, dried blood orange slices and hints of honey. Medium-bodied, the palate has a creamy texture rounded out with succulent, red fruit and buoyed by vivacious, balancing acid that leads to a joyful, lingering finish. Disgorged March 2023 and finished with a nine gram per liter dosage.

Antonio Galloni,

Vinous

The NV Brut Rosé Royale Réserve is absolutely lovely. Soft, open-knit and inviting, the Rosé Royale Réserve is an ideal wine for drinking now and over the next handful of years. All the elements fall into place effortlessly. The Rosé Royale Réserve is built on a strong core of Pinot Noir that represents 75% of the blend, and is the Pinot that drives both the flavor profile and overall feel. Readers will find a Rosé that will drink equally well as an aperitif or at the dinner table. This is an especially fine edition. This release is based on 2016, with the addition of 35% reserve wines. Dosage is 9 grams per liter. Disgorged: February, 2020.
