This sauce is a mainstay of classic French cooking. There are countless variations, including some prepared with white wine, but to be a true “bordelaise,” it must be prepared with a wine from the Bordeaux region of France. Some recipes use butter or cream at the end of the preparation to counteract the acidity of the wine. This sauce goes best with red meats and organ meats, which are rich enough to stand up to its strength.
