What wine goes with lobster?

Lobster is rich and slightly sweet, and calls for a wine with both body and freshness. White Burgundy, such as Meursault or Puligny-Montrachet, is the classic choice: Chardonnay with some oak ageing matches a butter sauce, while the acidity keeps the dish fresh. Champagne, ideally a Blanc de Blancs or a slightly older vintage, goes beautifully with cold or grilled lobster. Condrieu, made from Viognier in the northern Rhône, is a richer and more aromatic choice, especially with spiced lobster or a creamy sauce.
