- Place shallot, bay leaf, peppercorns, vinegar and wine in a saucepan. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium and continue simmering until only 2 tablespoons of liquid remain.
- Pour in double cream and bring to a simmer; simmer until the cream has reduced by half. Increase heat to medium-high and rapidly whisk in the butter, piece by piece until it has melted into the cream and thickened it. Pour the sauce through a mesh sieve to remove the spices. Serve immediately.

Great flavor. Served this with the Alaska Salmon Bake with Pecan Crunch Coating from this website. Used only 1/2 the butter though. - 15 Oct 2008 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
