Château Hosanna 2022

Hosanna 2022 is a poised and deeply expressive red from the heart of Bordeaux’s Right Bank, crafted in the small but celebrated appellation of Pomerol. In this fine vintage, the wine marries depth and concentration with remarkable precision, offering a luxurious yet finely tuned expression of Merlot-driven power. A blend of 75% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, it stands out for its dense, inky character and sculpted structure, already being hailed as one of the standout wines of the year. What sets Hosanna 2022 apart is its combination of opulence and clarity: richly layered dark fruit, mineral tones and florals, all wrapped in velvety, powder-fine tannins. The wine draws on Pomerol’s long tradition of producing some of the world’s most coveted Merlot-based blends, while reflecting the modern precision and vineyard focus that have elevated this estate since its rebirth under the Moueix family.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, Hosanna 2022 shows a deep, almost opaque purple-ruby hue, with a vivid, inky core that hints at both concentration and youth. The nose is immediately enticing and complex, opening with blackberries and dark cherries, then evolving towards aromas of warm embers, truffle, graphite and a touch of lilac or violet. Subtle notes of cocoa, spice and a gentle, savory earthiness add further layers as the wine unwinds in the glass. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, dense and enveloping, with a plush, sweet-fruited core that feels both rich and finely delineated. Ripe black fruits, black cherry and plum are framed by powdery, beautifully integrated tannins and a line of juicy, refreshing acidity that keeps the wine lively rather than heavy. The mid-palate is layered and expansive, carrying notes of dark chocolate, pencil shavings and a faint, smoky mineral edge into a long, precise finish. While already impressive in its balance and harmony, Hosanna 2022 clearly has the structure to age gracefully for 15–25 years, gaining in complexity, silkiness and tertiary nuances of truffle, tobacco and forest floor with time in the cellar.

Production
Hosanna 2022 is sourced from a compact, privileged parcel in Pomerol, where old vines are rooted in a mosaic of clay and gravel with an underlay of iron-rich subsoils—classic terroir that naturally favors Merlot of great depth and perfume. The estate practices meticulous vineyard management, with careful canopy work, green harvesting where necessary, and hand-picking at optimal ripeness to capture both richness and freshness in this warm, generous vintage. After strict sorting of the berries, the wine is vinified in temperature-controlled vats, allowing for a gentle, gradual extraction of color, tannin and flavor. Aging typically takes place in high-quality French oak barrels, a significant proportion of them new, where the wine matures on its fine lees, integrating oak influence and polishing its tannic structure without overshadowing the purity of fruit and the signature of the terroir.

Food & Serving
Hosanna 2022 is a natural partner for refined, richly flavored dishes. Classic pairings include roast lamb with herbs, dry-aged ribeye or côte de boeuf, and game birds such as duck or pigeon, where the wine’s dark fruit and savory nuances echo the depth of the meat. It also works beautifully with truffle-infused dishes, mushroom ragù, or a slow-braised beef or veal stew, as well as with aged hard cheeses like Comté or mature Gouda. For peak enjoyment, serve at 16–18°C (60–64°F). In its youth, decanting for 1.5–2 hours helps the wine open up, relax the structure and reveal its aromatic complexity; as it matures, a shorter, gentle decant will usually suffice to separate any sediment and allow the bouquet to blossom.

Producer
Château Hosanna is a relatively young name in Pomerol, yet it occupies one of the appellation’s most privileged terroirs, surrounded by some of Bordeaux’s most illustrious estates. The property was carved out and reimagined in the late 1990s under the stewardship of the Moueix family, renowned Right Bank specialists whose expertise and vineyard focus quickly propelled Hosanna into the top tier of Pomerol producers. Despite its modest size, the estate has earned a reputation for crafting wines of exceptional depth, sensuality and precision, often recognized by critics for their ability to combine power and elegance in equal measure. Today, Hosanna is regarded as a benchmark for modern Pomerol, seamlessly blending the region’s long-standing traditions with contemporary rigor in vineyard management and cellar practices.
