Hosanna

I have loved every vintage that [proprietor Christian] Moueix has made of Hosanna, which is basically the finest parcel of the vineyard…
- Robert Parker

Although it does not have the long history that other Pomerol chateaus are known for, Château Hosanna wine has been around since 1999 when it was purchased by Ets. Jean-Peirre Moueix. Previously sold under the Château Certan Giraud label, the wines are made from 11 acres of estate vines on red gravelly clay. Critics have dealt Hosanna the reputation of a more delicate counterpart to the legendary wines of Château Petrus. The wines are rich, complex, and full bodied with an elegance and charm that is noticeable in Pomerol wines. Industry principals are regarding Hosanna as one of the top, new properties to watch in the region. Vintages to look out for: 2000, 2001, 2005, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2012, 2015, 2016.

Tasting Notes

WA99
This is the finest Hosanna that proprietor Christian Moueix has yet made, produced from a 15-acre parcel that usually yields about 1,500 cases. The 2009, a prodigious blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, offers up an exquisite aromatic concoction of blackberries, plums, Asian soy, forest floor, truffles and graphite. Along with its stunning concentration, remarkably thick, juicy mid-palate and unbelievable complexity, its viscosity and opulence take this wine to new heights. This extraordinary wine is one of the superstars of 2009 and one to enjoy over the next three decades.
JS98
Stunning aromas of blackberries, dark chocolate, hazelnut and black olive skin. Full- bodied, with ultra-fine tannins that feel fine silky on my palate. Long finish of coffee bean, chocolate and dark fruits. Best Hosanna ever. Try in 2020.
