- In a heavy 2-qt saucepan, combine vinegar, wine, shallots, lemon, and bay leaves to make an infusion. Simmer over medium heat for 5 to 8 min till the mix is reduced to a wet paste, about 2 Tbsp.. Add in the cream and continue to simmer till reduced again to about 2 Tbsp.. 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 heat without the sauce getting too warm, producing a creamy emulsified sauce. Don't let the sauce go over 130 degrees, where it will separate. If the sauce starts to break, remove from heat, add in 2 ice cubes and whisk till it cools down and comes back together. Season with salt and pepper, mix in the chives, and serve immediately. Keep covered in a hot place for a few hrs, if needed.
- Serve with fish or possibly vegetables.
