Add the white wine, bring to a boil, and cook until reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 3 minutes. Add the Madeira and bring to a boil. Stir in the cream and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring frequently, until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
