Description
Available to order now. This wine is expected to be ready by the end of March 2026. Only a few thousand bottles of this white Angelus are produced, and allocation per country is very small. The wine is deservedly very popular, especially considering its excellent price for this level.
Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal and her nephew, Thierry Grenié-de Boüard, represent the eighth generation of the Boüard de Laforest family to manage Angélus. Following Catherine Sophie de Boüard de Laforest in 1800 and Eugénie Chatenet in 1900, Stéphanie de Boüard-Rivoal is the third woman to lead this estate, which she has overseen and grown. She is aware of the task entrusted to her in 2012 and the responsibilities it entails. She embodies the values that have guided her family throughout the estate's history: integrity, hard work, humility, and a sense of duty. Along with her nephew, she continues the work of their ancestors with the sole purpose 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-Émilion wines are allowed to carry this highest classification: Cheval Blanc, Ausone, Pavie, and Angélus.
The Blanc du Milieu is a new project from the owners of Château l'Angelus (St. Emilion). In the early 1920s, a plot was purchased in the Castillon region, just a few kilometers from St. Emilion. The decision to buy here was based on the vineyard's perfect cool location, but especially on the soil type: beautiful cool, deep clay and limestone soils. Fermentation takes place partly in new oak barrels, in stainless steel, and in concrete tanks. Then, it rests on the lees for 18 months. Vinification takes place in the unique cellars of Carillon de l'Angelus. The Blanc du Milieu is called Blanc du Milieu Vin de Pays de l'Atlantique in full.
The grapes are selected from a 2-hectare plot 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. The wine is quite unusual for a Bordeaux, with a dominant share of Chardonnay in the blend (around 50%), supplemented by Chenin Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, and Sémillon.

WINE AND FOOD SUGGESTIONS:
Grilled sea bass with fennel and lemon
The wine's fresh acidity and elegant structure perfectly complement the delicate flavor of whitefish. Fennel enhances the wine's slightly spicy note, while lemon accentuates the vibrant acidity.
Risotto with green asparagus and Parmesan cheese
The creamy texture of the risotto is beautifully complemented by the wine's roundness. The fresh asparagus and the umami of the Parmesan enhance the wine's complexity and minerality.
Veal loin with tarragon cream sauce
The refined flavors of the veal complement the wine's softness. The spicy tarragon and cream sauce complements the subtle woody notes and rich texture without overpowering the wine.
Salad with goat cheese, pear and walnut
The wine's fresh acidity balances the creamy, nutty character of the goat cheese and walnut. Pear complements the wine's fruity aromas and completes the dish's harmony.
Baked scallops with cauliflower puree
The soft, sweet flavor of scallops pairs perfectly with the wine's subtle floral and ripe fruit notes. The cauliflower purée adds a creamy mouthfeel that complements the wine's texture.

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.
