Red Wine Butter Sauce

This sauce goes very well with red meat.  It is easy to make and in a French kitchen all the ingredients are available.  Wine is cheap here and I just love to cook with wine.

Ingredients :
1/2 cup red wine
1 tbsp minced shallots
1/4 cup double cream
100 gm butter, cut into 8-10 cubes

In a saucepan, reduce the red wine in shallots till the wine is almost absorbed.  Add cream and reduce until syrupy consistency about half volume.  Remove from heat and whisk in the butter a little at a time.  Keep warm over boiling water, while you prepare the red meat.
