Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

A de-stalked blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 8% Mourvedre. Half Aged In oak barriques for a year, 30% of which are new, and half in tank. A seriously intense Mont-Redon Chateauneuf, one of the best young wines we have tasted from them, alongside the 2016. Wonderful cherry blossom aromatics immediately saturate the senses. The palate offers waves of gripping dark berry fruits, flavours of bramble, plum and griotte with notes of damson liqueur. As open and fruity as this is, there is also density and a tight-knit focus. A solidity and complexity gives dimension and balance to the overt, silky, perfumed fruit. The mid palate is solid and structured, whilst the finish is fragrant and fruity. An intense, composed Chateauneuf that displays as much class as it does intensity.

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

Yohan Castaing,

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

A blend of 60% Grenache Noir and 40% Syrah, the 2019 Chateauneuf du Pape le Plateau de Mont Redon possesses a deep, complex and spicy bouquet of smoke, blackcurrant and blueberries. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and structured, it's dense and broad with a tannic mid-palate, concluding with a licorice-inflected finish. This is a muscular, demonstrative Chateauneuf-du-Pape. It needs time to chill out.

Nicolas Greinacher,

Vinous

Made with grapes from old vines between 80 and 100 years of age, the 2019 Châteauneuf-du-Pape Le Plateau de Mont-Redon is composed of equal proportions Grenache and Syrah. It mingles bright aromas of ripe red and black cherry, licorice, dried herbs, cloves, mint and wood smoke. Full-bodied, packed with flavor intensity and wrapped in ripe tannins, it concludes with great persistence on the savory finish. Only 4,500 bottles produced.
