THREE very interesting wines recently - out of the usual run, and most welcome too.
Chablis Premier Cru Chapelot 1992, Raveneau
At dinner recently in a well known Teochew Restaurant in Beach Road, my host served two classics, Chablis and the other old favourite and reliable Bordeaux. My host knowing my predilection for Chablis from past issues of this column, very kindly served this wine. And what a wine it was. On blind tasting it would have been difficult to place as Chablis.
