2021 Chateau Hosanna

品飲筆記：酒色深沉帶紫紅邊緣，香氣以黑莓、黑李與黑櫻桃為主軸，織入雪松、檀木、黑巧克力與咖啡豆的深層香調，並有微妙的紫羅蘭與松露氣息。口感絲滑且層次豐富，酸度鮮明帶動果味前後呼應，單寧細緻但有力，尾韻持久且一氣呵成。
酒莊與產地：Hosanna 位於 Pomerol 平台地區，前身為名為 Certan Giraud 的老牌園，1999 年由 J.-P. Moueix 系列接手，承襲當地傳統並結合現代釀造管理，注重產量控制與品質穩定。
釀造重點：本款採用溫控混凝土與不鏽鋼發酵槽進行溫和浸漬，保留果香與花香的清晰度；之後在法國橡木中陳釀約 14 個月，帶來香料、雪松與柔和木質結構，但不蓋過果實本身。
葡萄園與風土：2021 年產量偏低，果實更集中；葡萄園位於古老台地，土壤礦物感與保水性良好，成熟期較晚，結果是一款既有豐滿果實、也保有 Pomerol 一貫的精緻與餘韻的酒款。飲用建議：醒一小時到九十分鐘，或收藏數年後風味會更加融合。

Tasting Note: Deep garnet with purple edges. Aromas open to ripe black fruits—blackberry, black plum and dark cherry—layered with cedar, sandalwood, espresso, truffle and violet. On the palate it’s medium‑to‑full bodied, silky and polished: juicy acidity lifts concentrated dark-fruit layers while fine, ripe tannins provide structure and a long, seamless finish.
Producer Notes: Château Hosanna, long known on the Pomerol plateau (formerly Château Certan Giraud), has been in the care of Etablissements J.-P. Moueix since 1999. The estate draws on a rich local history and meticulous cellar standards to craft wines built for both early pleasure and long-term aging.
Winemaking Notes: 2021 was handled with gentle, controlled maceration in thermo-regulated concrete and stainless-steel vats to preserve aromatic lift, followed by circa 14 months maturation in French oak that adds spice, cedar and a polished texture without overwhelming the fruit.
Vineyard Notes: Located on Pomerol’s plateau with historic plantings dating back generations, yields in 2021 were low, concentrating flavors and tannin ripeness. Harvest was late September to early October, producing a wine that balances ripe density with freshness and mineral tension.
