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

96/100

Erin Brooks,

Robert Parker Wine Advocate

The 2021 Pinot Noir Zotovich Vineyard comes from grapes grown in sandy soils, was vinified using 30% whole clusters and was matured for 12 months in barrel, plus an additional six months in sandstone vessels. It takes some time to open from matchstick and woodsmoke on the nose to a core of pomegranate and nuances of cola, bergamot, star anise and lavender. The medium-bodied palate is powerful and concentrated, with a frame of grainy tannins and seamless acidity that enlivens its flavors and calls you back to the glass. This complex, expressive wine will be long lived in the cellar. 139 cases were made.

Antonio Galloni,

The 2021 Pinot Noir Zotovich Family Vineyard is bright and focused, with lovely aromatics. Fine beams of tannin lend shape to this gorgeous, compelling Pinot Noir. Hints of dazzling red-toned fruit, sage, dried herbs and rose petal take shape in the glass. The 30% stems are nicely judged. I very much like the energy here. The 2021 spent twelve months in barrel and then six months in sandstone amphoras.
