Robert Allait: Solera RP.B Extra Brut

Robert Allait: Solera RP.B Extra Brut

The Cuvée

Robert Allait | Extra Brut

Same champagne -> the Solera RP.B, Extra Brut from

Three glasses -> Three completely different experiences.

-> No. 4: Elegance & finesse, the aromatic tension of the Solera aging remains rather focused. The perlage feels lively, the oxidative note shows restraint. Ideal for getting started. (The post about this is still coming)

-> One for all: Rounder, softer, broader, the structure comes out stronger, creamier on the palate, nuttier on the finish. Those roasted aromas back then (post from early May) with the burger? A dream.

-> WineWings: In the large, bulbous glass comes the grand entrance. The bulbous glass gives the champagne room, and it uses it. Less mousse, but more texture. The RP-B almost feels like an aged white wine, with depth, salinity and that typical Solera complexity.

Robert Allait: Solera RP.B Extra Brut

The, Solera RP-B was one of those candidates again today that shows how much character can be packed into a glass when you don't stay on the standard track.

The Solera Cuvée brings not only depth and structure, but also this warm, slightly oxidative touch that pairs perfectly with the roasted aromas of grilled food. Today on the plate: spicy marinated turkey breast fillets, nestled in a spontaneous freestyle burger with everything the fridge had to offer.
