According to Wine Advocate founder and critic Robert Parker, "One of the most consistent wines made in Bordeaux since the late seventies, Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande (called Pichon-Lalande by its admirers) is unquestionably one of France's most popular wines. It combines wonderful finesse, complexity, and supple richness with adequate availability and early drinkability. Although it only has two candidates among this century's greatest Bordeaux wines, the estate has produced a bevy of delicious, well-made wines."
