Heat a small saucepan over medium heat.
Add 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan and let it melt completely.
Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant (do not allow the garlic to brown).
Add the fresh lemon juice and white wine to the pan, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes, reducing slightly.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce warm through for another 2 minutes.
Gradually add the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter, one tablespoon at a time, whisking constantly to emulsify the sauce. Do not let the sauce boil, as it could separate.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove the sauce from heat and, if desired, garnish with finely chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm over your favorite seafood, chicken, or vegetables.
