Red · Medium · Dry
Piedmont's everyday red — soft, plummy, low-acid, gulpably friendly. The wine you reach for when Barolo feels like a commitment.
Works with Duck Liver Parfait · Duck Liver Parfait With Spiced Cherry Brioche
Red · Full · Dry
Shiraz's more reserved European cousin — Northern Rhône style, all violets, black olive, and white pepper. Less brawn, more poise; pairs as well with lamb as with peppered duck breast.
Works with Duck Liver Parfait · Duck Liver Parfait With Spiced Cherry Brioche
An uncatalogued varietal or single-vineyard wine. Taste before pairing: assess color, weight, and any obvious sweetness, then plate accordingly.
Why it works with Duck Liver Parfait
Pineal des charentes and Duck Liver Parfait make a workable pairing — taste, adjust, enjoy.
White · Medium · Off-dry
Same grape as Pinot Grigio, different attitude — the Alsatian style is richer, fuller, faintly honeyed, with the structure to handle pork, smoked fish, and Asian aromatics.
Why it works with Duck Liver Parfait
A medium white like Pinot Gris matches Duck Liver Parfait's weight — neither too lean nor too plush.
Red · Light · Dry
Burgundy's most temperamental grape, but the rewards are real — translucent ruby with a perfumed lift of red cherry, forest floor, and clove. Silken tannins and bright acid make it the most versatile red on the table; serve cool, around 58°F.
Why it works with Duck Liver Parfait
Light reds like Pinot Noir pair with Duck Liver Parfait the way Burgundians intend — cherry, earth, and a silken texture matching tender meat.
