Melt the butter in a pot and add onions. Cook over low hear, stir them regularly. They are ready when they are soft, sticky, sweet and deep gold in colour.
Add flour and stir continuously for 2 minutes. Gradually blend in the stock and the wine. Stir and bring to boil.
Add bay leaf and season. Cover the pan and summer for 25 minutes. Remove the bay leaf.
Ladle into deep, heatproof bowls, place several thin slices of toasted baguette on to each, then cover with thinly sliced Gruyère.
Bake in a hot oven for 20 minutes or grill until the bread is toasted and the cheese has melted but not browned.
Serve warm.
