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

95/100

Luis Gutierrez,

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

Some of the grapes for the 2021 Ignios Origenes Vijariego Negro were picked a little late, and the final blend is higher in alcohol, 14%. He also did more maceration this year, and the wine has a deeper color, deeper and riper than other vintages. Perez is now wondering if he likes the riper expression of the grape better than the one from the more ethereal grapes that were picked earlier. The wine is more in the style of a Syrah from the Norther Rhone, with meat and smoky notes, which took time to show up, as it was initially closed and a bit reductive. It feels like a different expression of the grape, with some tannins that make it more powerful and calls for time in bottle and/or powerful food. The wine feels very complete, with full development of aromas and flavors. It seems to have more of everything. I have the feeling this might blossom with a few years in bottle. It's like comparing apples with pears; both 2020 and 2021 are very good vintages, but they're almost different animals. Despite my tendency to like more ethereal and elegant wines, I'll give the edge to the more powerful 2021 today. 2,657 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2022.
