No, you haven't.

Bearnaise Sauce (from my Escoffier cookbook):

6 tbs white wine
6 tbs tarragon vinegar
2 tsp chopped shallot
pinch chopped tarragon
pinch coarse pepper
pinch salt
1 oz butter
3 yolks
8 oz softened butter
cayenne, tarragon, chervil (no amounts given)

So, no bay leaves, but it does contain chile!
