Cream sauce with Vin Jaune
This sauce made with Vin Jaune ("yellow wine") is emblematic of Comtoise cuisine from Eastern France. It combines the smoothness of cream with the slight acidity and typical flavour of the Vin Jaune.
The tricky aspect of cooking with Vin Jaune is that its fugitive flavour tends to disappear when cooked for any length of time. You will notice that this recipe uses a particular way of finishing the sauce to limit this loss of flavour.

Stage 3 - 1 min.
Pour in 7.0 oz Vin Jaune, mix and, as you do so, enjoy the delicous aromas coming off the pan, then turn down the heat.
Stage 4 - 15 min.
Leave uncovered on low heat to reduce by 3/4.
Stage 5 - 3 min.
Once the liquid has reduced, pour the contents of teh pan through a fine strainer sitting over a bowl.
Press the shallots to squeeze out all the juices and not waste any, then discard them.
Note: Any stage like this which ends up with making a "jus" can be done days in advance if necessary and the jus kept in a sealed jar in the fridge.
