The 2010 Gigondas Cuvee Florence boasts a dense ruby/purple color and appears slightly more concentrated than the 2009 with more structure as well as blacker and bluer fruits, especially jammy dark raspberries, black cherries and black currants. This serious wine will probably shut down slightly, requiring several years of bottle age. It should keep for 12-15 years. (Not yet released)For many decades, this estate owned by Jean-Pierre Cartier has been a reference point for high quality Gigondas. Cartier was among the first producers to experiment with small barrels (for his Cuvee Florence), and he appears to have gotten the equation of oak and the wonderful fruit produced in the southern Rhone correct.Various American importers including: Ansonia Wines, Dover, DE; (no telephone number available) and Gifted Grapes Wines Distribution, New York, NY; tel.
