Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

An excellent value methode traditionelle sparkler from one of the most awarded addresses in the Loire – Bouvet make ultra-reliable, classically styled fizz in Saumur. Think crisp citrus and soft chalky notes in this easy going yet fresh fizz perfect for parties and get togethers. The Chenin Blanc in the blend gives the cuvee its racy definition while the Chardonnay provides the body.

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

88/100

Stephan Reinhardt,

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Disgorged in January 2020, the NV Bouvet Brut de Loire Saumur is a pure, fresh and chalky Chenin Blanc fermented in stainless steel and aged in bottle for 15 months. The bouquet is intense and fresh, with typical Saumur character as well as brioche, orange and lemon notes on the nose. Playful and round on the palate, this is a textured, elegant and refined Brut with white honey flavors and a well-balanced, round, aromatic and stimulatingly salty finish. The wine has good freshness and grip on the finish and goes well as aperitif as well as for lighter dishes with white meat, fish and certainly cheese. This is a really excellent sparkling wine. Tasted from lot L20058-03 in March 2021.
