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. The La Chablisienne Chablis Premier Cru Cote de Lechet with a 4.5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 27 dollars per bottle.

La Chablisienne Chablis Premier Cru Cote de Lechet

This Premier Cru, a rare wine, sunlit and ethereal, is made with grapes from Chardonnay vines that grow on a clay and limestone soil deriving from Kimmeridgian geological times. The vineyard is located on the left bank of the River Serein near the village of Milly.
