Chateau Hosanna - Pomerol
Chateau Hosanna does not have a long history in the Pomerol appellation. Until quite recently, the vineyard was used to produce wines previously sold under the name of Chateau Certan Giraud.In the estate’s formative years, the vines were part of the vast de May estate which gave birth to Vieux Chateau Certan, Certan de May, and the aforementioned Chateau Certan Giraud and other properties.

Below the original Château Vieux Certan and the first produced Hosanna 1999.
Jumping ahead to the modern era, following the frost of 1956, the estate became the property of the Giraud family who renamed the winery, Chateau Giraud. The Giraud family later sold the vineyards in two separate transactions in 1999.

A great write up on the origins of two great modern Pomerol Bill
And to have the actual bottles to add pictures makes the story that much richer. Thank you. I love modern Vieux Chateau Certan circa 1998 to present. It’s always a must for me when I buy futures of quality vintages. Hosanna is also a superb wine. Unfortun...
Love the Certan
Had a case of the 82 and the 85 Both long gone. Used to be great value
What a fantastic post
Thank you for educating us Bill! Pomerol wines are rather precious in my view due to limited quantity on a relatively small land area. Best Gatsby
