Château Hosanna

Chateau Hosanna sits on the high plateau of Pomerol among some of the most hallowed names in Bordeaux; its neighbours include Petrus and Lafleur. The property was created by the Moueix family, who carved it from the former Certan-Giraud estate and have farmed it with meticulous care since.

The wine is Merlot with a meaningful portion of Cabernet Franc, and it shows the plateau's signature: velvet texture, dark plum and truffle, and a perfume that unfolds for years. Production is small and the quality is very high indeed.
