2022 Hosanna
Buying options
Tasting notes
Lush aromas of juicy strawberry and cherry-pie-filling emerge from the glass. The fruit is fresher on the palate, expanding to offer more delicate floral notes of cherry blossom and wisteria. The tannins are surprisingly restrained and fine-grained in nature, though there is a persistence to the tannic structure that steers the wine into a long finish. Blend: 74% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Franc

The 2022 Château Hosanna comes from iron-rich, blue clay soils and is 74% Merlot and 26% Cabernet Franc that was harvest between the 5th and 19th of September. It has a perfumed, lifted, floral bouquet of blue fruits, candied violets, orange blossom, and spice. This carries to a full-bodied, rich, concentrated, firm Hosanna with plenty of tannins, good mid-palate depth, and outstanding length. I don't see this matching the truly great vintages from this château, but it's clearly an impressive Pomerol.
74% Merlot, 26% Cabernet Franc. Cask sample. Discreet but complex. Red-fruit fragrance with a floral nuance. Tannins ripe and long providing a smooth-textured feel. Clean, long finish. Not the most exuberant but plenty of substance. (JL)
This is a great Hosanna! The wine is dark in color, with a boatload of black plums to match. There is richness, concentration, opulence, length, purity, and seemingly non-stop waves of cashmere-textured, black and dark red pit fruits, all touched by chocolate and spices. The harvest took place September 24 - October 6.
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.
