Sparkling · Light · Dry
Méthode champenoise from the most chalk-rich corner of France — fine bubbles, brioche, lemon zest, and a finish that goes on for half a minute. The wine for anything fried, salty, or special.
Why it works with Lobster Thermidore
Champagne's bubbles are made for Lobster Thermidore — palate-cleansing, briny, the classic shellfish pairing.
White · Medium · Dry
The most-planted white grape and the most chameleon-like. Crisp and steely from Chablis; rich, oaky, and tropical from California. Read the label, then match the style to the dish.
Why it works with Lobster Thermidore
Chardonnay Nw (full-bodied, Fruity)'s mid-weight handles Lobster Thermidore well; the acid keeps the pairing crisp without weighing it down.
Red · Medium · Dry
A medium-bodied red. Earthy, restrained, with a quiet structure that flatters most dinner-table foods.
Why it works with Lobster Thermidore
Deep Red's mid-weight flatters Lobster Thermidore without taking over — the everyday red strategy.
White · Medium · Dry
The white grape of the Northern Rhône — full-bodied, peachy, faintly perfumed, with the texture of a quiet Chardonnay. Pairs with anything saffron-tinged or apricot-glazed.
Why it works with Lobster Thermidore
Viognier's stone fruit and quiet structure flatter Lobster Thermidore's natural sweetness.
