The addition of champagne elevates this sauce, making it a luxurious accompaniment for seafood and poultry. This sauce is often served in fine dining restaurants, and its creamy texture and delicate flavor profile have made it a favorite in modern cuisine, inspiring variations across the globe.

1

Combine finely minced shallots, white wine, champagne, white wine vinegar, and heavy cream into a pan.

2

Simmer over medium to medium high heat until the mixture is reduced by at least 75%, about 10 minutes, ensuring to watch closely to prevent burning.

3

Reduce heat to low and whisk in a couple of cubes of cold unsalted butter at a time to create a butter emulsion.

4

Continue to add more cubes of butter slowly, ensuring each addition is fully incorporated before adding more.

5

Check that the sauce coats the back of a spoon to determine doneness.

6

Strain the sauce through a fine mesh strainer into a serving vessel like a gravy boat if desired.

7

Keep the sauce warm between 80 and 120 degrees Fahrenheit if not using immediately.
