CHABLIS: IDEAL WINE FOR LOBSTER & LANGOUSTINE

Due to the Kimmeridgian soil, Chablis wines have a remarkable minerality as well as a breathtaking salinity. The terroir of Chablis is in fact made up of small fossilised oysters which give the wine its particularities. The salty side of a Chablis wine is particularly well suited to the iodine of seafood, and thus of lobster and langoustine.

Look no further and opt for a Chablis Premier or Grand Cru to accompany lobster and langoustine. The aromatic power, generosity and complexity on the palate of these superb wines will enhance your dinner. As the lobster meat is dense, with a full and tasty texture, a wine that is just as rich in flavour is recommended. Nothing better than a prestigious Chablis for a royal match!

Chardonnay

CHARDONNAY TO ACCOMPANY LOBSTER AND LANGOUSTINE

White wines are the preferred choice for accompanying seafood. Among the vast range of white wines, those made from the Chardonnay grape variety will sublimate these shellfish. The finesse, persistence and length on the palate of Chardonnay make it the ideal match for lobster and langoustine. However, it is best to avoid any wine that has been aged in oak barrels. The woody notes of the barrel do not go well with the iodine flavours.

Verre de vin Chateau neuf du Pape

CHÂTEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE, WHY NOT?

Although Châteauneuf-du-Pape wines are not made from the Chardonnay grape variety, this prestigious appellation has its place alongside lobster and langoustine. An almost confidential production, the whites of Châteauneuf-du-Pape are dense, fleshy and have an impressive aromatic complexity. Their minerality and toasty aromas not only blend well with the iodine of the shellfish, but also with the grilled side of the lobster and langoustine.
