Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons shallots, finely minced
- 1 cup Champagne or dry sparkling wine
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the minced shallots and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant.
Pour in the Champagne, raise the heat to medium-high, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Let it reduce by half, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow it to gently simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Whisk in the Dijon mustard and honey until fully incorporated.
Add the fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper, and stir to combine.
Continue to cook the sauce on low heat for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and taste for seasoning, adjusting if necessary.
