Both wines – Morandé Black Series Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in their 2021 vintages – were widely praised by the senior editor of JamesSuckling.com.

In addition to obtaining 94 points, Shuai highlighted Morandé Black Series as a wine “Fresh and pure on the nose with green fruits and lots of star fruit, a hint of flint and a slight creamy edge. Subtle and bright with a tense mid-palate that creates a creamy but fresh mouthfeel. Medium- to full-bodied and long.”

For its part, Morandé Black Series Pinot Noir also obtained 94 points and was highlighted for its notes of “Racy strawberries, roses and black cherries with a hint of white pepper and grilled herbs. Juicy and tense on the palate with fine, chalky tannins. Quite long and linear. This shows pinot finesse and class.”
