About Ch. Hosanna
Hosanna, the former Château Certan-Giraud, was acquired in 1999 by Ets. Jean-Pierre Moueix, owner of Château Trotanoy. It is located in the heart of the Pomerol plateau. The most elevated and finest part of the vineyard was retained, while the rest was sold off. In total, it covers only 4.5 hectares, directly bordering several illustrious Pomerol estates. Its eastern neighbour is Château Pétrus, and to the south lies the renowned Vieux Château Certan. The vineyard is planted with 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc.
The vineyard benefits from a soil composed of red gravel and clay over iron-rich subsoil, known for its ability to produce very elegant, complex, and powerful wines, with remarkable notes of dark chocolate. Very old Cabernet Franc vines, some dating back to 1956, contribute to the unique elegance and complexity of this wine.
