champagne sauce
Sparkling wine gravy
Champagne sauce is a cream-based sauce made with champagne or sparkling wine, typically finished with butter and shallots.
It's served with seafood, poultry, or pasta in upscale cooking: lobster tail with champagne sauce.
The alcohol cooks off, leaving a subtle effervescence and acidity that lightens rich dishes.
