Description
Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal, and her nephew Thierry Grenié-de Boüard represent the eighth generation of the Boüard de Laforest family to manage Angélus. After Catherine Sophie de Boüard de Laforest in 1800 and Eugénie Chatenet in 1900, Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal is the third woman to head this estate, which she has seen grow. She is aware of the task entrusted to her in 2012 and of the responsibilities that this entails. She represents the values that have guided her family throughout the history of this estate: integrity, hard work, humility and a sense of duty. Together with her nephew, she is continuing the work of their ancestors with the sole aim of defending the grandeur of Angélus and ensuring that this name, synonymous with excellence and timelessness, endures.
The efforts of the dedicated owner, Hubert de Boüard, to produce the best wine in Bordeaux were rewarded in 2012 with the promotion of Château Angelus to the super class A. Only four Saint-Emilions are allowed to use this highest qualification: Cheval Blanc, Ausone, Pavie and Angélus.
The Blanc du Milieu is a new project by the owners of chateau l'Angelus (st. emilion). In the early 1920s, a plot was purchased in the Castillon region, just a few kilometres from St. Emilion. The decision to buy here had to do with the perfect cool location of the vineyard, but especially with the soil type: beautiful cool, deep clay and limestone soils. Fermentation takes place partly in new oak barrels, in stainless steel and concrete eggs. Then 18 months rest on the lees. Vinification takes place in the unique cellars of Carillon de l'Angelus. The full name of the Blanc du Milieu Vin de Pays de l'Atlantique
The grapes are selected from a plot of 2 hectares of vineyards (5 acres). The vineyard is located on a south-facing slope in Castillon-la-Bataille. The soil consists of clay-limestone with a high content of limestone-rich tuff. There are between 5,000 and 7,000 vines per hectare.

WINE-FOOD SUGGESTIONS:
Grilled sea bass with fennel and lemon
The fresh acidity and elegant structure of the wine are a perfect match for the delicate taste of whitefish. Fennel enhances the slightly spicy note in the wine, while lemon accentuates the lively acidity.
Risotto with green asparagus and Parmesan cheese
The creamy texture of the risotto is nicely complemented by the roundness of the wine. The fresh asparagus and the umami of Parmesan enhance the complexity and minerality of the wine.
Veal loin with tarragon cream sauce
The refined flavours of veal complement the softness of the wine. The spicy sauce with tarragon and cream complements the subtle wood tones and rich texture, without overpowering the wine.
Salad with goat cheese, pear and walnut
The fresh acidity in the wine balances the creamy and nutty character of the goat cheese and walnut. Pear complements the fruity aromas of the wine and makes the dish harmonious.
Baked scallops with cauliflower puree
The soft, sweet taste of scallops goes perfectly with the subtle floral and ripe fruit notes of the wine. The cauliflower puree gives a creamy mouthfeel that matches the texture of the wine.

Michel de Boüard de Laforest, historian, chartist and rector of the Academy of Caen, researched the origins of his family. The earliest reference he found to his family tree was that of Georges Boüard, born in 1544, a Bourgeois and Jurat from the city of Bordeaux. At the end of the 18th century, in 1782, Jean de Boüard de Laforest, a bodyguard of the king, settled in Saint-Emilion. His daughter, Catherine Sophie de Boüard de Laforest, met Charles Souffrain de Lavergne in 1795 and settled on the Mazerat estate, which belonged to her husband. At the beginning of the 20th century, Maurice de Boüard de Laforest inherited the estate. He expanded it and the half kilo in 1920 with the name of a 3-hectare toe enclosure called Angélus. He left it to his sons in 1945. Jacques and Christian de Boüard de Laforest continue the work of their father and that of previous generations. The property was incorporated in 1954. They expanded it further until it exceeded 20 acres in 1985. At that time, Hubert de Boüard de Laforest, son of Jacques, took over the management of the estate and was joined in 1987 by his cousin Jean-Bernard Grenié, son-in-law of Christian and later his daughter, Stéphanie de Boüard- Rivul in 2012.
The vineyard of Château Angélus is located in a natural amphitheater overlooking the three Saint-Emilion churches. In the middle of this special place, the sounds were amplified and the angel bells in the morning, afternoon and evening. They travel the working day in the rhythm in the surrounding villages and the men and women who take a few minutes to stop working and pray. The great French Impressionist painter Jean-François Millet immortalized this moment of prayer in his magnificent work "The Angelus", now on display at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
Less than a kilometer from the famous bell tower of Saint-Emilion, situated at the acclaimed 'foot of the hill' facing south, Angélus has been the life's work of eight generations of the Boüard de Laforest family. In the probable classification of Saint-Emilion wines in 1954, Château Angélus was a Grand Cru Classé. Already at that time it benefited from a solid reputation, which gave rise to the Bordeaux wine crisis of 1973 and participated in the oenological renewal of the 1980s. In this context, Hubert de Boüard de Laforest, graduate oenologist at the University of Bordeaux, took advantage of past of this wonderful wine, while resolutely focusing on the future strategy and developing and pursuing an ambitious and innovative policy to achieve excellence in viticulture and making.
