Cahors Malbec

red · Malbec (Cot) · Cahors · France — 16–18°C

Cahors Malbec on limestone, tannic and graphite, dissects the melting fat of the confit while its black plum and licorice extend the leg's brown jus.

Madiran

red · Tannat · Madiran · France — 17–18°C

Madiran Tannat, the world's most tannic grape, tears through the thick confit fat while its blackcurrant and violet hold up against the caramelized skin.

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

Alsatian Gewurztraminer Vendanges Tardives — lychee, rose, mango with residual sugar and sharp acidity — opens the classic sweet-savoury pairing with confit. Honeyed richness wraps the duck fat while spice notes extend the caramelized skin.
