The weather in 1966 in Bordeaux was very favourable with with good weather patterns. The winter was mild with fine weather hitting the region by Spring which produced good flowering. June was cool and dry and there was some rain in July. August was a dry cloudy month but the harvest was saved by a lovely hot September which led to the harvest starting in early October. All the major regions of Margaux, St Estephe, Pauillac, St Julien and the Medoc produced powerful wines with great ageing potential.1966 was a very good year for Red Burgundy and it as also a very good vintage in the Northern Rhone and a good vintage in the South of the Cote du Rhone. In Portugal, it was an outstanding Vintage Port year producing Vintage Ports with superb structure, filled with fruit and tannins. James Symington of the Symington Port Group, "Musts everywhere showed higher than average readings and the colour is excellent. Yields on the other hand are the lowest for many years, some Quintas being as much as 30% down on their '64/5 productions.We are delighted with the prospects for the 1966's. It will be surprising indeed if 1966 does not prove to be an excellent vintage for Port."
