About Bordelaise sauce
Bordelaise sauce is a French sauce traditionally made with red wine, shallots, and stock, often finished with butter; versions may also include herbs or other additions. It is typically dark reddish-brown and pourable, with a savoury, wine-rich flavour and a texture that ranges from light to glossy depending on reduction and finishing.
It is served as a sauce with cooked foods and may be prepared at home or sold ready-made. Recipes and commercial formulations vary, so the name does not guarantee a single ingredient list. This refers to the sauce itself, not a dish served with it or a product with additional flavourings.
