    Classic Bonnefoy Sauce

    How to Prepare Bonnefoy Sauce

    This sauce is exactly the same as the Bordelaise and sometimes called "white Bordelaise" or "Sauce Bordelaise au Vin Blanc" except that it calls for white wine instead of red wine. However, like Bordelaise Sauce, employ a dry and fuller bodied white wine such as Chardonnay.

    Named after a famous Parisian restaurant in the 19th century, it was customarily paired with fish and unlike a traditional Bordelaise, the shallots were not strained out.
