Peking Duck
DESCRIPTION

Peking Duck is a crispy-skinned roasted duck dish. The duck is seasoned with salt, rice vinegar, scallion, garlic, and spices like anise, bay leaf, and cinnamon. It is then roasted until the skin is golden and crispy. The tender meat is often served with bean paste, cucumber, and thin pancakes for wrapping, creating a delightful combination of flavors and textures.

WINE PAIRING

Peking Duck, a classic Chinese dish, features a whole duck roasted to perfection, resulting in crispy skin and tender, flavorful meat. The rich, savory flavors of the duck pair well with a medium-bodied red wine like Merlot, which has soft tannins and fruity notes that complement the dish. Alternatively, a full-bodied white wine like Marsanne, with its subtle sweetness and nutty characteristics, can also be an excellent choice to balance the umami flavors of the Peking Duck.
