Prep

Cut the cold butter into small cubes and return to the refrigerator until ready to use.

Cooking

Finely chop the shallots and place them in a small saucepan.
Add the dry white wine and white wine vinegar to the shallots.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and reduce the liquid until about 1-2 tablespoons of the concentrated mixture remain.
Reduce the heat to minimum. Begin adding cubes of cold butter, 1-2 pieces at a time, constantly and vigorously whisking.
Add the next batch of butter only when the previous one has completely emulsified into the sauce.
Remove the sauce from the heat, add salt and a pinch of white pepper to taste. Optionally, strain through a fine-mesh sieve before serving.
