Château Hosanna 2017

Hosanna 2017 is a refined, right-bank Bordeaux that showcases the sensual side of Pomerol in a classic, ageworthy package. Crafted from 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, it’s a richly perfumed, silky red that has already impressed critics, including a 94/100 score from Wine Enthusiast. This vintage balances opulence and structure, promising both early pleasure and rewarding cellaring for years to come.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Hosanna 2017 shows a medium to deep garnet-purple hue, with a vibrant, youthful rim that hints at its ongoing evolution. The nose is intensely aromatic and elegant: red roses and violets leap from the glass, followed by layers of baked blueberries, mulberries and rich plum compote, all laced with sweet notes of vanilla pod and cinnamon stick. On the palate, this is medium to full-bodied, plush and polished, with beautifully perfumed black and blue fruits at its core. Ripe, rounded tannins provide a velvety frame, while a streak of fresh acidity keeps everything lifted and precise. Flavors of black plum, blueberry and dark cherry are intertwined with subtle baking spice, a touch of cocoa and a long, fragrant finish. Already approachable, it has the concentration and structure to age gracefully—enjoy from 2023 and comfortably over the next 10–15 years, depending on your preference for primary fruit versus more evolved, tertiary notes.

Production
Château Hosanna lies in the heart of Pomerol on Bordeaux’s Right Bank, where deep clay and gravel soils give Merlot its hallmark richness and depth, while Cabernet Franc contributes lift and aromatic complexity. The 2017 vintage is based on old-vine Merlot (80%) and Cabernet Franc (20%), harvested by hand at optimal ripeness to ensure strict selection of only the healthiest, most expressive berries. Fermentation typically takes place in temperature-controlled vats to preserve purity of fruit and finesse, followed by aging in small French oak barrels, with a high proportion of new oak, to polish the tannins and add subtle layers of spice and texture without overwhelming the estate’s signature floral, velvety style.

Food & Serving
Hosanna 2017 is a natural match for refined, flavorful dishes such as roast lamb, beef tenderloin, duck breast, or veal with morel cream sauce. It also pairs beautifully with truffle-based dishes, earthy mushroom risottos, and aged hard cheeses like Comté or aged Gouda. Serve at 16–18 °C to highlight its aromatic complexity and silky texture. Younger bottles benefit from 1–2 hours in a decanter to allow the wine to open fully, while mature bottles may need only a gentle splash decant to remove any sediment.

Producer
