Recommended wine: Chablis, Chardonnay

Lobster works really well with Chablis and Chardonnay. Chablis is perfect with lobster, but a chardonny from other regions is bound to hit the spot too. You could try Louis Jadot Chablis Vaudesir Grand Cru. Reviewers quite like it with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 160 dollars per bottle.

Louis Jadot Chablis Vaudesir 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.Very pale straw in color, with an explosive nose of vivid floral aromas and crunchy fresh fruits that provides the ultimate expression of its cool terroir. The palate shows great tension and energy.
