And the ESCOFFIER COOK BOOK says this about Ravigote Sauce:

Reduce by half, one-quarter pint of white wine with half as much vinegar. Add one pint of ordinary veloute, boil gently for a few minutes, and finish with one and one-half ounce of shallot butter and one teaspoon of chervil, tarragon, and chopped chives. This sauce accompanies poultry and certain white ‘abats’ (lights of veal, pork, and lamb).
