Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives

white · Gewurztraminer · Alsace · France — 10–12°C

The canonical pairing for Peking duck: Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives (residual sugar and lifted acidity) answers the sweet-savory hoisin sauce and calms the lacquered duck — lychee extends the Asian character.

Pinot Noir Bourgogne

red · Pinot Noir · Bourgogne · France — 14–16°C

Burgundy Pinot Noir (young, fruity) brings delicacy and red fruit that respect the tender duck flesh without masking the hoisin — red alternative to Gewurztraminer.

Vouvray Moelleux

white · Chenin Blanc · Loire · France — 10–12°C

Vouvray Moelleux (Chenin Blanc with residual sugar) answers the sweet-savory Peking duck like Gewurztraminer — quince and baked apple echo the hoisin sauce.
