Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

A crystalline nose that moves from classic wild ferment notes to grass and then red apple, juicy and fruit forward on palate with fine extract and iron rich spiced fruit. There's an almost granular mineral quality across the mid palate, while pithy grapefruit notes dominate the finish.

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

91/100

David Schildknecht,

Vinous

Golden Delicious apple is wreathed in lily-of-the-valley and tempered by pungency and brightness of fresh lime on a penetrating nose and a buoyant, glossy, generously juicy palate. The finish lingers lusciously and with a saliva-stimulating hint of salinity. As with all of the 2017 Schloss Lieser Kabinetts, high residual sugar is successfully balanced out by efficacious acidity and extract.

Stephan Reinhardt,

The 2017 Lieser Niederberg Helden Riesling Kabinett is beautifully clear, bright and crunchy in its slatey Riesling aromas. Lush and sweet but with piquant, mouthwatering acidity, this is a mouth-filling and stimulating Kabinett with sweetness that could (or should) be much lower for my personal taste. I'd try this wine again in 10 years when the sweetness will be better integrated with the salty-piquant minerality. Tasted in March 2019.
