Vintage 1966
The 1966 vintage is a very great vintage thanks to ideal climatic conditions. Champagne is a beautiful 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 from Graves and the red wines from Médoc are more delicate than the great wines of Saint Estèphe 1966, which are more powerful and have better aging potential.In Burgundy, the assessment is more varied for the 1966 vintage. The red wines are remarkably balanced, with the brilliance of fruit and the elegance of Burgundy's king grape, Pinot Noir. The best wines produced in this 1966 vintage were from Morey Saint Denis, Chambolle Musigny and Vosne Romanée.
