2. Pour in the wine, bring to the boil and let bubble until reduced by half.
3. Add the creme fraiche, 3 1/2 fluid ounce water and seasoning. Bring to the boil and bubble for 5 minutes or until the liquid is slightly thickened and syrupy. Add the chopped thyme, adjust the seasoning and serve immediately.
