Steps:
- In small saucepan, combine shallots, wine, and vinegar. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and simmer until liquid is reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 10 minutes.
- Turn down heat to lowest possible flame. Whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, adding a piece as previous one melts. Don't allow sauce to become too hot. For a more smooth sauce, strain through a fine sieve, if desired.
- Season with salt and pepper and keep over a bain-marie. Just before serving, stir in herbs.
CHEF JOHN'S BEURRE BLANC
Although beurre blanc purists would object to the bit of cream in this classic sauce, it does help create a more stable base, enhances the flavor, and makes an even more beautiful color than when made without. Have all the ingredients measured and handy before starting as this sauce comes together rather quickly.

Steps:
- Place wine, lemon juice, cream, shallots, and cream in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium, and let simmer until liquid is reduced by about 75%, 4 to 5 minutes. Reduce heat to the lowest setting and whisk in about 2 cubes of butter. Keep butter moving until it melts. When melted, add a few more cubes, whisking continuously so butter emulsifies into the wine/lemon juice mixture.
- Continue to add butter, a few cubes at a time until all of it has been incorporated and the sauce has a thick, luxurious texture, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove from heat. Taste for seasonings and add a pinch of salt and cayenne, if desired. Serve immediately.

CLASSIC BEURRE BLANC: WHITE BUTTER SAUCE
Steps:
- In a heavy 2-quart saucepan, combine vinegar, wine, shallots, lemon, and bay leaves to make an infusion. Simmer over medium heat for 5 to 8 minutes until the mixture is reduced to a wet paste, about 2 tablespoons. Add the cream and continue to simmer until reduced again to about 2 tablespoons. Cream is added to make the sauce more stable and less likely to separate.
- Reduce the heat to low and remove the bay leaves. Whisk in the chunks of butter in small batches. The butter should melt without the sauce getting too hot, producing a creamy emulsified sauce. Do not let the sauce go over 130 degrees F, where it will separate. If the sauce starts to break, remove from heat, add 2 ice cubes and whisk until it cools down and comes back together. Season with salt and pepper, fold in the chives, and serve immediately. Keep covered in a warm place for a few hours, if needed.
- Serve with fish or vegetables.
BEURRE BLANC SAUCE
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Cut the butter into medium (1/2-inch) cubes and return them to the refrigerator to keep them cold.
- Heat the wine, vinegar, and shallot in a saucepan over high heat until the liquid boils. Continue boiling until the liquid has reduced down to about 2 tablespoons, about 30 to 40 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low, take the cubes of butter out of the fridge and start rapidly whisking them in, 1 or 2 at a time, to the reduction. As the butter melts and incorporates, add more and keep whisking. Continue until you only have 2 to 3 cubes remaining. This process should take about 25 to 30 minutes.
- Remove from the heat while whisking in the last few cubes, and whisk for a moment or two more. The finished sauce should be thick and smooth.
- Season to taste with kosher salt.
- Traditionally, the chopped shallot would be strained out before serving but doing so is optional. Serve right away. Enjoy.

CLASSIC BEURRE BLANC SAUCE
Steps:
- Make the shallot reduction: In a medium heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring, until shallots are soft and translucent but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the dry white wine and white wine vinegar; cook, stirring occasionally to reduce the liquid until about 2 to 3 tablespoons remain.
- Add the cream: Add the cream and salt to the pan and bring to a boil, over medium-heat and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
- Strain the sauce: Pour the sauce through a fine-meshed strainer into a small bowl and press down using a spoon to extract as much liquid as you can. Rinse out the saucepan.
- Add the butter to strained sauce and season: Return the strained sauce to the pan and reduce the heat down to low. Whisking vigorously, add the remaining 8 tablespoons butter, a few pieces at time. When each addition is incorporated, add more butter, until all of it is incorporated and the sauce looks creamy and coats the back of a spoon. It will resemble heavy cream. (It is not a thick sauce.) Stir in the salt and pepper.
- Serve the sauce: Serve the sauce immediately. If not using right away, keep it on the side of the stove to maintain a lukewarm temperature until ready to use. Just before serving, reheat over low heat, whisking constantly, until hot. Did you love this recipe? Give us some stars below!
