Recommended wine: Chablis, Chardonnay

Chablis and Chardonnay are my top picks for Lobster. Chablis is perfect with lobster, but a chardonny from other regions is bound to hit the spot too. You could try Domaine Louis Moreau Chablis Vaulignot Premier Cru. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.6 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 40 dollars per bottle.

Domaine Louis Moreau Chablis Vaulignot Premier Cru

Chablis achieves its highly distinctive mineral character due to its cool northerly climate and its highly calcareous soil. The Domaine Louis Moreau Chablis Vaulignot Premier Cru has a classic Chablis character, with an elegant minerality and a rich, full palate. Hints of mint and pineapple on the nose, and a long finish.
