Sauce poivrade, sometimes called sauce au poivre, is a peppery sauce in French cuisine.

It is made of a cooked mirepoix thickened with flour and moistened with wine and a little vinegar, then heavily seasoned with black pepper.[1] More traditional versions in French haute cuisine use Espagnole Mother sauce to thicken.[2]
