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.

Eric Guido,

Vinous

From the first tilt of the glass, you know that you’re in for a treat. The 2019 Etna Rosso Calderara Sottana Prephylloxera La Vigna di Don Peppino blossoms with a deep yet delicate display that transports you to a place somewhere between Gevrey and Mount Etna. A burst of fresh roses, cloves and allspice evolve further into notes of wild strawberry, wet pumice stone and hints of candle wax. Frankly, this bouquet alone is worth the price of entry. It glides along the palate, like pure silk slowly being draped across the senses, as a mix of tart wild berries and savory herbs gives way to purple-tinged inner florals and sweet spice. The word ";ethereal"; comes to mind. This leaves echoes of licorice to mix with currants and autumnal seasonings over a coating of rounded tannins that gently pinch at the cheek. The 2019 is the most glorious interpretation of the Vigna di Don Peppino that I’ve had the pleasure of tasting. It’s sourced from 140+ year-old prephylloxera vines planted in black stone soils from within the Calderara Sottana cru. Simply breathtaking.
