Lobster can be paired with Chablis and Chardonnay. Chablis is perfect with lobster, but a chardonny from other regions is bound to hit the spot too. You could try Louis Jadot Chablis Montee de Tonnerre Premier Cru. Reviewers quite like it with a 5 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 52 dollars per bottle.
