Heat the butter in a heavy saucepan and add the carrots, leeks and onion. Cook briefly, stirring, until wilted.

Tie the parsley, bay leaf and thyme into a small bundle (bouquet garni). Add it to the saucepan. Add the garlic and fish bones and stir. Add the champagne and bring to a boil. Let simmer about a minute and add the water.
- Step 3
Bring to a boil and let simmer 20 minutes.
- Step 4
Strain through a very fine sieve, preferably of the sort known in French kitchens as a chinois. Press the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the solids.
