Recommended wine: Chablis, Chardonnay

Chablis and Chardonnay are great choices for Lobster. Chablis is perfect with lobster, but a chardonny from other regions is bound to hit the spot too. You could try Louis Jadot Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 70 dollars per bottle.

Louis Jadot Chablis Les Clos Grand Cru

7 "climats" can be called Grand Cru in Chablis : Preuses, Bougros, Les Clos, Grenouilles, Blanchot, Valmur and Vaudésir. Those vineyards are all situated on the right side of Le Serein river, on the hill. This situation gives a strong and full-bodied character to the wine.Star bright with a silvery rim. This wine is derived from grapes grown in a climat oriented toward the south and south-west located within Chablis's largest Grand Cru, Les Clos. It offers a very ripe nose of yellow-fleshed stone fruits, particularly peaches, with a hint of apricot. This is a complex wine with generosity and plenty of ripe fruit, good mouthfeel and a glorious finish.
