Château Hosanna occupies one of the most extraordinary positions in all of Pomerol: 4 hectares in the very heart of the plateau, with Château Lafleur to the north, Château Pétrus to the east, and Vieux Château Certan to the south. The JP Moueix family created the estate in 1999 from a portion of the former Certan-Giraud property, recognizing the extraordinary quality of this central plateau terroir, and Christian Moueix has overseen every vintage since. The 2015 is widely regarded as the most compelling Hosanna ever produced, the first to truly convince critics of the estate’s first-growth potential. Jeb Dunnuck awarded 99, calling it one of the superstars of the vintage with x-factor depth and elegance, noting it should last 25 to 30 years. James Suckling awarded 98, with the wow factor, describing polished, lustrous appeal with dark plums and ripe blueberry flavors and incredible depth. Wine Advocate awarded 97, describing an exotic perfume of smoked meats, truffles, sandalwood, and Indian spices over a compelling core of cherry cordial, blackberry tart, and blueberry compote, full-bodied with an ethereal, seamless texture, perfect balance, and a huge finish. Wine Enthusiast 95, Decanter 95, and Wine Spectator 94. Now 11 years from harvest, this is opening beautifully. Very limited and incredibly priced for a wine of this standing. Act now.

About The Producer

The name is new but the terroir is ancient. Château Hosanna sits at the very heart of the Pomerol plateau, with Lafleur to the north, Pétrus to the east, and Vieux Château Certan to the south, a location that alone explains why Christian Moueix moved to acquire it the moment it became available in 1999. The land traces its lineage to the de May family, who settled on the plateau in the 16th century and planted one of the appellation’s earliest vineyards, eventually giving rise to Vieux Château Certan, Certan-de-May, and what became known under the Giraud family’s ownership as Château Certan-Giraud. When Établissements Jean-Pierre Moueix purchased the estate, Christian Moueix made a decisive edit: he selected only the finest parcels on the upper plateau, renamed them Hosanna, and sold the remainder. What remained was 4.5 hectares of blue clay over iron-rich red gravel, planted to 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, including a good portion of vines that survived the catastrophic frost of 1956 and are now among the older vines on the plateau. Robert Parker declared that Hosanna represented the finest parcel of the original Certan-Giraud vineyard, and the wines produced by Ets. Jean-Pierre Moueix’s winemaking team of Éric Murisasco and Arnaud de Lamy have consistently delivered on that promise: concentrated, structured, and built for genuine cellaring, with the truffle and iron notes that define this particular corner of Pomerol.
