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
- WA97
- Close to perfection, this extraordinary blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc seems to have hit all the high notes in 2012. Inky ruby/purple with stunning concentration, a multidimensional mouthfeel, skyscraper-like texture and fabulous purity of blue, red and black fruits, this is a tour de force from this estate owned by Christian Moueix. The potential complexity and sheer compelling quality of Hosanna is amazing. Aromatically, this may be the most profound wine of the vintage. Drink it over the next 15-20 years.
- WS92
- This leads with a smoldering tobacco leaf note and good dark plum and blackberry fruit that stays very focused, picking up graphite and plum cake details on the finish. Polished and supple overall, this puts on weight with air, revealing lots of latent length. Best from 2017 through 2027. 900 cases made.
