Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

A touch of spontaneous fermentation frames the nose, before ripe, really quite serious compact citrus fruits and fine red slate spice. Intense, a little bound up still, a few essential oils sneak in on the finish. A justly famous, steep, south-east/east facing vineyard on red slate – along with Pettenthal, one of the key sites in the Roter Hang.

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

94/100

Stephan Reinhardt,

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2022 Nierstein Hipping GG displays a radiant golden-yellow color and opens with a deep, concentrated and slightly smoky/flinty bouquet but is still closed and reductive. Full-bodied and lush, with vital acidity, this is a textural yet still not that energetic Hipping that was bottled a week before I tasted it for the first time in mid-July 2023. The wine is fleshy and powerful but fine, with excellent potential and a grippy and fresh finish. It is a rather masculine Riesling with tannins and concentration. 12.5% stated alcohol. Natural cork. Tasted at the domaine in July 2023.

Anne Krebiehl,

The 2022 Riesling Niersteiner Hipping Grosses Gewächs is from a parcel that faces the Rhine like a half-opened book, so there are multiple expositions. The nose is initially shy but creamy with honeydew melon and ripe tangerine notes. The palate is juicy, clear and almost bouncy in an energetic, vivid fashion. Stony spice and savoriness, reminiscent of St John’s Wort crushed on salty stone. A touch of pithiness lends the merest edge of welcome, mouth-watering bitterness. It is the zestiness that lingers. Pure and clear. (Bone-dry)
