I'm interested in any suggestions for wines that will pair well with duck confit.
As always,
Thanks and drink up, its Friday.

Anyone have recommendations specific to wild duck (and goose) confit? My first time making it and the meat seems so much richer and darker than domesticated fowl I'm' thinking the pairing should be different.

isnt the classic pairing a young left bank with duck confit?

this is how i've always had it at game dinners - but by 'young' i've found it to mean '10-20 years from the vintage'. i did wild ducks last year with some '99/'00/'01 left banks that worked really well. The other thing i almost always find it paired with is braised red cabbage, typically with some anise & lardons.

side note i've had a young pomerol with a goose confit and was quite fond of the pairing.
