The 1966 vintage is a very great vintage thanks to ideal climatic conditions. Champagne is a fine example of this very great 1966 vintage, with very elegant vintage champagnes, such as the iconic Champagne Krug 1966 or Champagne Charles Heidsieck Cuvée Spécial Charles Heidsieck 1966. In Bordeaux, the 1966 vintage falls between the exceptional 1961 and 1970. The red wines of Graves and the red wines of Médoc are more delicate than the great crus of Saint Estèphe 1966, which are more powerful and present better aging potential. In Burgundy, the picture is more mixed for the 1966 vintage. The red wines are remarkably well-balanced, showcasing the brilliance of the fruit and the elegance of Burgundy's king grape variety, Pinot Noir. The finest wines produced in this 1966 vintage came from Morey Saint Denis, Chambolle Musigny and Vosne Romanée.
