Tasting notes
Brooding black fruits on the nose with floral fragrant lift and touch of ginger spice. Rich, rounded and incredibly supple tannins. The texture is very fine and layered providing a real delicate breadth to the wine whilst also having a certain level of opulence. Despite the roundedness of the wine there is a lovely freshness too. Impeccable balance.

The aromas and flavors of blueberries, black olives, black chocolate and minerals are very impressive. It’s full-bodied, layered and powerful. Focused and chewy.
The 2019 Hosanna continues this Pomerol cru's strong run of form. Picked between 20 September and 3 October, it is matured in 50% new oak. It contains a little more Cabernet Franc than previous vintages (31%). It has a divine bouquet, pure and delineated with intoxicating scents of blackberry, raspberry preserve, rose petals, hints of blood orange and a light smear of honey. The palate is beautifully balanced with filigree tannins and perfectly judged acidity. Cabernet Franc contributes an extra dimension to the finish. This might well be the best Hosanna since its inception.
Coffee bean and violet, I love the balance of austerity and exuberance. The dark berry fruits are plush and expand outwards through the mid palate, the tannins are well brushed and hang around just as you wish them to do. Plenty of ageing potential here.
About the producer
Château Hosanna is a relatively young wine label in Pomerol, but one with some of the richest heritage in the entire region. It couldn’t be better situated with Château Lafleur to the north, Vieux Château Certan to the south and flanked on either side by Pétrus and Château Lafleur-Pétrus.
