This delicate and aromatic sauce, made with egg yolks, butter, white wine, and fresh tarragon, is the perfect accompaniment to fish, seafood, white poultry, or rabbit.

Begin by preparing the aromatic base: separate the tender tarragon leaves from their stems and finely chop them. Peel and finely dice the shallots. In a small saucepan, combine the white wine, vinegar, minced shallots, and tarragon stems. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and, uncovered, reduce it until the volume is reduced by two-thirds. Then, strain the resulting aromatic liquid.

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks with one and a half teaspoons of cold water until a light foam forms. Place the container over a double boiler and continue whisking for 2-4 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove the container from the double boiler and vigorously whisk the mixture to cool it slightly.

Carefully incorporate the egg mixture into the wine reduction. Gradually, in a thin stream, pour in the melted butter, continuously whisking the sauce. Add the finely chopped tarragon leaves. Season the sauce with salt and ground white pepper to taste, then gently reduce it to your desired consistency.
