Que boire avec du canard laqué

Which white wine to drink with Peking duck?

White wine is an excellent choice to pair with Peking duck, especially when it has slightly sweet and fruity notes. A Gewurztraminer from Alsace or a semi-dry Jurançon is ideal. These wines offer aromas of exotic fruits like lychee and pineapple, with a subtle touch of sweet spices that perfectly harmonize with the sweet-salty sauce of the duck. Their freshness and liveliness cut through the richness of the dish while highlighting its gourmet notes.

Which red wine to drink with Peking duck?

If you prefer red wine, opt for round and warm wines with smooth tannins and fruity aromas. An AOC Côtes-du-Rhône or an AOC Cairanne is an excellent choice. These red wines from the Rhône Valley, dominated by Grenache, develop aromas of red fruits and spices, making them perfect companions for the richness of the duck. They bring an enveloping warmth that balances the intense flavors of the dish without overpowering it. For a more elegant and refined option, a Pinot Noir from Burgundy, such as a Pommard or Chambolle-Musigny, will also work wonderfully with Peking duck. This grape variety, with its aromas of sour cherries and red fruits, offers finesse and complexity that perfectly complement this delicate dish.
