Gentle oak on the nose and palate. Slightly buttery. Restrained style. A touch of hazelnut with lemon and apple. Round. Needs a little time to flesh out. Good acidity.

Red
2011 Guy Breton Morgon Vieilles Vignes
Lots of red fruits on the nose/palate with a hint of blueberry. Light but with a tannic grip on the finish. Nice granite notes with maybe a touch of stem. Lacking maybe a little bit on the mid palate.
Red
2012 Jean-Paul Thevenet Morgon Vieilles Vignes
Interesting contrast to the Breton Morgon '11 next to it. This has much more flesh, more concentrated and riper.
Rather firm nose with a mix of red and dark fruits (candied strawberry) with bramble. Almost a little jammy on the palate. Needs a little time.

Red
2011 Domaine Arretxea Irouléguy
Elegant and restrained nose with cassis and blueberry notes and a nice savory element. Light herbal note (no bell pepper though). Beautiful silky texture. Impression of lightness.
Only 12%.

2011 Domaine Catherine Le Goeuil Cairanne
Not as complex as the '10 but again a very well balanced wine, holding its 14.5% very well. Earthy, dark fruits with licorice. No noticeable heat with a good acidity. Also interesting to note the color which is not as dark as the other wines from the appellation.
