Dunkles Granat, recht satt in der Mitte, rubiner Rand. Ziemlich konzentrierter Nasenansatz, gehackte Waldbeeren und eine traumhafte Würze vom Cabernet Franc her zeigend, Kardamom, Lebkuchen, alles vermischt mit dem Duft von frisch erkaltetem Schwarzbrot. Im Gaumen samtig, elegant, die Säure und die Tannine sind bereits im Extrakt eingebettet. Der Wein setzt auf Eleganz und Finesse. Alles ist im burgundischen Bereich.

The 2014 Hosanna followed the 2014 Latour-à-Pomerol at my tasting at J-P Moueix. To be frank, it did not quite possess the same breeding and precision as that wine, veering more towards red rather than black fruit, crushed strawberry and mulberry, tinged with clove and bay leaf. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin and impressive fruit concentration. Here is the real quality: a structured and quite masculine Hosanna, albeit with genuine complexity, allspice and clove intermixed with dusky black fruit and freshly cracked black pepper. It finishes with a sense of confidence and style. Hopefully the aromatics can improve during bottle age; I strongly suspect that they will.<br/><br/>

Very dense, with a wall of ganache and loam holding the core of steeped fig, blackberry and black currant fruit in check for now. The tannins are evident yet ripe, and seem to be slowly melding with the fruit. The finish drips with dark earth notes. Patience is required. Best from 2020 through 2035. 1,250 cases made.

Château Hosanna
Château Hosanna sits just in front of the legendary Pétrus and between Château Lafleaur and Vieux Château Certan in Pomerol. Born out of a separation of property, Hosanna represents the elevated section of the former, Château Certan-Giraud, which was purchased in 1999 by Ets. Jean-Pierre Moueix. The name Hosanna means praise and acclamation, which further hints at the vineyards ideal setting on the Pomerol plateau. The red gravel soil has layers of clay; the vines are between 25 and 50 years of age, with an average of 40 years and quite a high percentage of Cabernet Franc (30%). Since the acquisition, extensive work has been carried out in the vineyard, including the installation of new drainage and wells. Château Hosanna combines grace with complexity, and according to the Moueix family, the estate could become, thanks to the gentle dash of the Cabernet Franc, a feminine equivalent to Pétrus.
