Château Hosanna is a Bordeaux wine estate in the Pomerol appellation. The vineyard is planted with 70 percent Merlot and a relatively high 30 percent Cabernet Franc. The large component of the latter in the wine leads to Hosanna's reputation as a more delicate counterpart to Pétrus.
The property faces Pétrus (also part of the Moueix stable) and lies between Lafleur and Vieux Château Certan. There are 11 acres of vine on soils made up of red gravel with layers of clay and some sand (the famed, iron-based "crasse de fer" soils of the appellation).

| Rating | 99 RP - 1949 L'Eglise Clinet Pomerol Bordeaux - 99 pts! Virtually perfect, the 1949 L'Eglise-Clinet was one of a series of older vintages from this estate that possessed mind-boggling richness, extraordinary intensity, unctuosity, and that quintessential kirsch/black-cherry essence exhibited by its near-by neighbor, Chateau Lafleur. The 1949 L'Eglise-Clinet revealed an opaque purple color with no signs of lightening at the edge. In the glass, it looked more like port than a dry red table wine. There is extraordinary viscosity, thickness, and extract to this full-bodied, colossal L'Eglise-Clinet. Still young, there is not a hard edge to be found because of the wine's low acidity and ripe tannin. This must be one of the century's most underrated great wines. It should continue to drink well for another 25 years. As disappointing as the 1948 Haut-Brion can be, the 1949 can be outstanding. In this tasting, it revealed some of the textbook cigar, ashtray, tobacco-scented notes, as well as scents of roasted herbs and ripe fruit. The color was a medium garnet with considerable rust at the edge. Medium-bodied, round, sweet, and soft, this wine is past its prime, although it remains exceptional. Drink it up. RP |

| Robert Parker Rating | 98 RP - This is an absolutely spectacular effort from Christian Moueix’s tiny jewel in Pomerol – Hosanna. An extraordinary nose of blue and black fruits, floral notes, licorice, and truffle soars from the glass of this dense purple wine. A blend of 80% Merlot and 20% Cabernet Franc, this wine often has the most complex set of aromatics of any Pomerol. Velvety tannins, a multi-dimensional mouthfeel, and stunning finish give this full-bodied, extravagantly rich wine accessibility now, but it is certainly capable of lasting 25 or more years. Sadly, there are only 1,200 cases of this. |
