Wine 1966


The year 1966 produced very good wines, a good number of which have survived to this day in very good condition. wine has ever been man's solace and joy, and so have to do now the wine bottles of the vintage 1966. Growing out of the poorest soil, the wild grape was tamed and blended over millennia to produce a royal beverage. But the nineteenth century brought a near revolution in the production of wine, and democracy in its consumption; ... During the past eight decades French vineyards, wineries, and wine marketing efforts have undergone such profound changes, from technological, scientific, economic, and commercial standpoints, that the transformation is revolutionary for an industry dating back thousands of years.

Wine vertical

A bottle of wine of the year 1966 is a rarity and unique finding. The taste of the wine, which is defined by its old age, can be on the limit of enjoyment for some. Therefore, an interesting alternative to buying a wine as old as ones anniversary, can be to recreate the years of the jubilee with three younger wine bottles, which together are as old. The tasting of the years through single steps is a charming present for any wine lover. Wine experts love these kind of vertical wine tastings: they emphasize the different phases of these valuable wines, and how their color and taste both change when ripening.

SW19396 Wine-vertical Riesling for the vintage 1966
VdP Große Lage - Mosel

Three bottles of exquisite Riesling from the Grand Cru vineyard Trittenheimer Leiterchen on the Moselle for a vertical tasting of the 1966 vintage. But not simply a straightforward tasting of the vintage, but a vertical tasting, a thought experiment, from which the age of 60 years can be calculated. 1993 = 33 years + 2004 = 22 years + 2021 = 5 years = a total of 60 years and three excellent individual vintages!


Revisiting the past years step by step is a charming and meaningful gift for a wine lover. The selected vintages represent, as it were, a retrospective of the defining stages of the recipient's life. The age of the 1966 vintage – 60 years – is the sum of the ages of the three individual vintages.


Wine experts love such vertical tastings. They beautifully illustrate how high-quality wines reveal themselves at different stages of their development, how the wines change from color to flavor as they mature. The most impressive aspect of a vertical tasting is wines with similar characteristics, such as Rieslings with a characteristic balance between acidity and fruit, minerality, and notes of maturity.


The Grand Cru Leiterchen vineyard is located within the Trittenheimer Apotheke vineyard, opposite the wine village of Trittenheim on the right bank of the Moselle River. This very steep single vineyard (hence the name) is exclusively owned by the Milz family. The vines are extremely old, and the wines from this vineyard are exceptionally rich in extract.

frbrion-3655 1966 Chateau Haut Brion
1er Grand Cru Classé - Bordeaux - Pessac-Léognan
Arnaud III de Pontac, a leading nobleman and the first president of the regional parliament- who insisted that the red wine from his family's estate, located in Pessac, was an unique, that didn't had sold  to négociants, who then blended it with other wines. Starting in 1660, he demanded a premium price for a wine with a name that no one beyond Bordeaux knew- "Haut- Brion", his family estate. After all, he sent his son to London five years later to open a tavern, where his wines were sold so exclusively and at quite steep prices.The vineyard of Château Haut Brion is planted to 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Merlot and 18% Cabernet Franc. The high Merlot content, compared to the Médoc First Growths, gives the wine a voluptuous edge, but does not in any way detract from its ability to age. Haut Brion was purchased by the American financier and politician Clarence Dougless Dillion in 1935. His granddaughter still owns and operates Haut-Brion to this day.
