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. The Simonnet-Febvre Chablis Les Preuses Grand Cru with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 85 dollars per bottle.

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.
