Procedures:
Bring vinegar, wine, shallots and tarragon to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
Boil until most of the liquid evaporates; about 3 minutes, and remove from heat.
Add water and then whisk in egg yolks until frothy.
Drizzle in the melted butter, whisking constantly to incorporate.
Sauce should be think, but thin it with a little water if needed.
