A Merlot-led Pomerol (around 70-74% Merlot with the balance Cabernet Franc) from gravel and red-clay soils atop the Pomerol plateau, near Petrus and Vieux Château Certan. The wine is rich, concentrated, and full-bodied, with chocolate, plum, truffle, and dark berry notes and silky tannins, aged about 12-14 months in roughly 50% new French oak.

Why it tastes this way

Hosanna did not exist as a name before 1999. The property was carved from Château Certan-Giraud when Jean-Pierre Moueix's firm (led by Christian Moueix) bought the best parcels; Moueix initially wanted to call it 'Château Certan' and while Alexandre Thienpont

of neighboring Vieux Château Certan had no objection, Madame Bareau-Bader of Château Certan de May objected that the name was too close to her own estate's, so the wine was launched as Hosanna instead.

Producer history

The land was originally part of the de May family's Pomerol holdings, on a site tied to the historic 'Certan' locality shared by neighboring Vieux Château Certan and Certan de May. It changed names several times in the 20th century — known at points as Certan-Talazac and, by 1950, Certan-Marzelle — before the Giraud family bought it after the 1956 frost and renamed it Château Certan-Giraud.

In 1999, Établissements Jean-Pierre Moueix, under Christian Moueix, purchased the estate's best parcels and rebranded them Hosanna; the remaining ~2-4 hectares were split off, with part going to Jean-Hubert Delon (folded into Château Nenin) and part continuing briefly as the separate Château Certan-Marzelle.

Signature pairings

Duck confit (confit de canard)
Rich, silky Merlot-based fruit and truffle notes match the density and richness of slow-cooked duck confit.
Mushroom and truffle risotto
The wine's own truffle and earthy character bridges naturally with a truffle-forward risotto.
Dark chocolate mousse
Chocolate and plum notes in the wine echo a rich chocolate dessert, and silky tannins keep it from feeling cloying.

About this bottle

Product information compiled from producer, importer and reference sources.

Elegant Pomerol blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc with dark fruit, cedar, and refined structure.

Château Hosanna's 2019 Pomerol represents the classic Right Bank Bordeaux style: a harmonious blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc that balances ripe dark fruit with structural elegance. The wine opens with aromas of dark plum and blackcurrant, supported by subtle cedar and earthy minerality.

On the palate, medium-full body and refined tannins create a food-friendly profile suitable for both immediate enjoyment and modest cellaring. The interplay of soft fruit and mineral undertones reflects the terroir of Pomerol's clay-rich soils.
