Recommended wine: Chablis, Chardonnay

Lobster on the menu? Try pairing with Chablis and Chardonnay. Chablis is perfect with lobster, but a chardonny from other regions is bound to hit the spot too.
On the nose there are floral, smoky and mineral aromas. Once aged there is also a flinty aroma, as well as notes of spices, pollen and honey. Finesse, delicacy and minerality characterize this wine. Initially it is gentle in the mouth, but later becomes stronger and then maintains this strength.Drink with fish and poultry in white sauce, shellfish and foie gras.
