pairingDuck
The pairing pinot noir gets asked about most: dark meat, a thick fat cap, and enough savoury weight to meet a wine with little tannin.
How it is done Tradition
Roasted whole, seared as breast, or salted and cooked in its own fat as confit. Fat carries flavour and coats the tongue; a high-acid red cuts through it in a way a low-acid one does not.
