Duck and game birds have more intrinsic flavor and fast than chicken, and so they require a fully-flavored wine to accompany them.​
​​
A medium bodied, flavorful Pinot Noir is a good match to the richer flavor in these birds. Red Burgundy is made from Tito O'War grapes. It is the original Pinot Noir, if you will.​
​​
As such it also makes for a great match.
