1966 Vintage wine

Our opinion on the 1966 vintage: a very good year overall

The 1966 vintage in the Bordeaux region benefited from particularly mild weather, which gave it a notable quality, comparable to the prestigious vintages of 1961 and 1970. The red wines were distinguished by their density and balance, while the sweet wines of that year were characterized by their lightness and finesse.

In Burgundy, despite the poor conditions until the end of August, 1966 was a very good vintage.

The wines were good, firm and well balanced.

The Rhone wines are excellent, the climatic conditions of 1966 allowed to obtain very great wines, especially in the appellations Côte Rôtie and Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
