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.

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.
