Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

The 30% botrytis is evidenced by the fresh apricot, pineapple and mango notes, a leaning towards the ripe tropical end of the spectrum, without sacrificing its immense elegance. On the palate, a creamy wave of fruit washes across the palate with complex notes of roasted pineapple, and sweet fresh peach studded with notes of hay and sweet pea. A generous, but nimble Auslese that is going to take some saying no to!

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.

David Schildknecht,

The 2019 Riesling Saarburger Rausch Auslese A.P. #3 offers pear, mirabelle, papaya and Persian melon, in overripe as well as jellied form, on a nose that benefits considerably from offsetting suggestions of peach kernel and sea breeze. The palate impression is lusciously fruited, expansive and creamy, and the soothingly lingering finish happily reprises subtle piquancy and salinity while offering ample fresh fruit juiciness.

Stephan Reinhardt,

The regular 2019 Rausch Riesling Auslese displays a bright color and offers a clear, delicate raisin aroma intermixed with notes of finely weathered slate and white champignons. Sweet and piquant on the silky-textured palate, this is a delicate and refined Auslese with fine botrytis notes on the finish. However, this 2019 is not exactly as precise and piquant as the finest Auslesen from the Saar, and it is slightly diffuse on the finish. 8% alcohol. Tasted from AP 03-20 in April 2020.
