Ingredients

¾ cup dry white wine
2 medium shallots, finely chopped
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
¾ cup heavy cream
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
salt and ground black pepper to taste
¼ teaspoon saffron threads

Directions

Combine wine, shallots, and vinegar in a small, heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Cook until liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Whisk in heavy cream, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until mixture has reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat.
Whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, until smooth. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in saffron.
Serve immediately or keep warm over a double boiler until ready to serve.
