Justerini & Brooks Tasting note

Heady wild floral polished translucent grenache fruit that is simply full of charm. There’s a real levity here, with notes of wildflower and coriander mingling with the sun warmed strawberry and grilled peach notes. Gently steadying tannins hold the wine in line, with a fine mineral note and touches of liquorice and caraway towards the finish.

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

Luis Gutierrez,

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The red that stands out in the 2022 range is the 2022 Els Escurcons, a pale, fragrant and delicate expression of Mediterranean Garnacha. It's textured and has a fine thread and chalky tannins. It keeps the pale, perfumed, ethereal, vibrant and clean profile of the 2021 with a little more ripeness but surprisingly low alcohol (13.5%). It was produced partly with carbonic maceration, all aged in clay amphorae for a few months and later in glass demijohn until they achieve the tension they are looking for. It's elegant and unique, very different from the majority of Priorat reds. To me, the 2022 is more elegant than the 2023 that I also tasted. Superb!
