Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

A blend from the younger vines in the top Im Sonnenshein vineyard, a big step up in complexity, definition and tension. Cool pear, gooseberry and stony salty fruit notes dominate the palate, with freshness but also the calmest delivery of flavours. This is going to be a mighty fine bottle with a few years' bottle age.

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 nose fascinatingly suggests oysters and mussels in its mingling of animal, herbal and mineral elements. With that come scents of apple, almond and lime. The full, surprisingly firm palate and lingering finish also happily surprise with their brightness of fruit, but only hint at the animal and mineral savor that the nose had led me to anticipate. Perhaps this just needs a bit more time in bottle.

The higher the wine quality, the less fruit you get if you have a Rebholz in your glass. The 2018 Im Sonnenschein Weisser Burgunder GG mixes ripe, bright fruit aromas with the dust of crushed limestone. This is pure and even piquant, and it won't be easy for all our readers to say clearly that this is not Riesling. There is more limestone here than any variety profile. On the palate, this is a wide, precise, fresh and elegant wine with a silky texture, very fine tannins and ripe acidity that leads the wine to an intense and elegant, lush and stimulating finish with well-hidden power. This is an insane Pinot Blanc, indeed, and it's terribly long and salty. It's highly recommended as one of the world's finest Pinot Blancs. Tasted in January 2020.
