Der Jahrgang 2006 ist einer der ganz großen Jahrgänge, die in den letzten 20 Jahren auf Château Pichon-Comtesse erzeugt worden sind. Robert Parker bestätigt dies eindrucksvoll: „The 2006 Pichon Lalande represents a return to the velvety-textured, rich, sexy style most readers would associate with Pichon Lalande. This blend of 64% Cabernet Sauvignon and 36% Merlot no Petit Verdot was included in the final blend exhibits a dense purple color as well as abundant aromas of chocolate, coffee, cedar, black currants, and a subtle touch of smoke, a rich, savory, full-bodied mouthfeel, plump, fleshy fruit, and a superb finish. This is a 21st century version of the brilliant 1996.”
