Transfer lamb to cutting board; tent with foil and let stand for 10 minutes before carving. 

Meanwhile, in small saucepan, bring stock, wine and garlic to boil; boil for 4 minutes. Whisk in mustard. Remove from heat; stir in 1 tbsp (15 mL) cold butter until melted and sauce is slightly thickened. Whisk in tarragon. Serve with lamb.
