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

Luis Gutierrez,

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The red 2018 Ignios Origenes Baboso Negro was produced with the grape known as Alfrocheiro Preto in Portugal, the reason why Perez started this project. There's not much more than 10 hectares of this grape planted in the Canary Islands. This comes from a plot that was planted in 1997 and which delivered very low yields in 2018. That might be the reason why this has a surprising 14% alcohol for a cool year but high acidity and, thus, comes through as powerful but fresh. The destemmed grapes fermented in stainless steel with indigenous yeasts, and the wine matured in 600-liter oak barrels for 14 months. It has a note of beeswax and honeycomb, raspberry leaf and dry rose petals with subdued minerality that, with time in the glass, turns into a very acute note of black tea, a little smoky. It's quite original and characterful, with pungent flavors, some dusty tannins and unexpected fresh flavors like blood orange. The plate is a little rustic, but it should evolve nicely in bottle. Only 720 bottles and 24 magnums were filled in February 2020.
