Château Hosanna Tasting Notes
Magnificent property acquired in 1953 and situated just across from Petrus. Expanded in 1994, thanks to a superb gravelly bump which enhanced the quality of the vineyard. The elegant country house dating from 1782 stands on the north of Pomerol's plateau.

Wine Spectator
Bright blackberry, forest fruits and freshly cut flowers. Full-bodied, with silky tannins and a long, caressing finish. Lots of black licorice and fruit character. Needs some time to develop in the bottle. Best after 2010. —James Suckling,

Wine Advocate
More structured and tannic than usual, the 2004 Hosanna reveals a noble bouquet of spring flowers, cedar, menthol, and caramelized sweet black cherries and currants. The flavors are rich, savory, and medium to full-bodied, but strong tannins appear in the finish, suggesting 3-4 years of bottle age will be beneficial. It should drink nicely for 12-15+ years thereafter. —Robert Parker,

Wine Enthusiast
Christian Moueix gave the celebratory name Hosanna to Château Certan Guiraud after he purchased it in 1999. He has now made his mark on the property, combining elegance and power. The style of the property seems to hone in on structure and tannins, but the fruit, dense and black, is also there. —Roger Voss,
