Description

  • 1966 Vintage: This year is regarded as very good to excellent across Bordeaux. Wines from this vintage are known for their firm structure, fresh acidity, and exceptional longevity, though most have now reached or passed their peak maturity.
  • Grape Composition: Traditionally a Merlot-dominant blend, often including Cabernet Franc.
  • Tasting Notes (Mature): At nearly 60 years old, this wine is considered a collector’s item. A well-preserved bottle typically exhibits tertiary characteristics such as cedar, leather, tobacco, and earthy undertones, with fruit notes transitioning from fresh cherry to dried plum or forest floor.
