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 Brocard Chablis Montee de Tonnerre Premier Cru with a 4.2 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 50 dollars per bottle.

Brocard Chablis Montee de Tonnerre Premier Cru

Aromatically the wine is full of mixed citrus flavors such as lemon zest as well as lime zest, along with a peppery note. On the palate, the wine is precise with its acidity, along with just under ripe peaches and a breathe note of creaminess from its contact with lees.
