Wine with shellfish · 219 wines

Bone-dry, high-acid whites are the natural partner for most shellfish — Muscadet, Chablis, Picpoul de Pinet and Albariño all work brilliantly. For prawns and crab, an unoaked Chardonnay or dry Riesling are excellent choices. Champagne and quality sparkling wine are the occasion-worthy match for lobster and langoustine, complementing their sweetness with refreshing acidity and fine bubbles.

Oysters and Muscadet is one of the great classic pairings — the wine's lean, saline character mirrors the brine of the oyster perfectly. Chablis is equally celebrated: its chalky mineral quality and razor-sharp acidity make it an ideal match. Champagne is another natural choice, the fine bubbles enhancing the oyster's texture. Avoid anything oaked, sweet or too fruity.
