Simmer for a few minutes. Add wine, chicken broth and herbs, using only the stems of the tarragon and saving leaves for the sauce. Cover and simmer for twenty five minutes or until the pheasant is tender.

To make the sauce, add to the pan juices, the cream and the remaining flour. Simmer gently until the sauce thickens. Strain the sauce over the pheasant, garnish with the tarragon leaves, whole or chopped.
