Place wine, lemon juice, and shallots in a saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until liquid is reduced by half or more.
Reduce heat to low and whisk in 2-4 cubes of butter at a time. Until all the butter is incorporated and being careful not to burn the beurre Blanc sauce!
When the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon remove it from the heat.
