Can you add Champange to a Burre Monte

I have a recipe for a Burre Monte and I would like to modify it a bit. Would it work if I added a dry sparkeling wine in place of the water, a bit of orange zest and a tad of vanilla ? I will be poaching fresh Maine lobster meat in it.

Gary, I was not familiar with a Burre Monte, but just Googled it. I don't see why a sparkling wine wouldn't work in place of the water. Sounds like it would be delicious that way.

i'm guessing that the vanilla would be a huge mistake; why not add it to part of the batch in case.
