Mashed Potatoes
Boil the potatoes with the bay leaves until the potatoes are tender. Drain the potatoes well and discard the bay leaves.
Mash the potatoes using a food mill and add the butter, hot cream, salt and white pepper. Fold in the herbed cheese and sour cream, allowing it to melt into the potatoes. Set aside in a warm place.
Beurre Fondue
In a medium stock pot, combine all ingredients except for the butter. Bring to a simmer and reduce by two-thirds. Turn down the heat and start adding the cold butter, whisking constantly to emulsify. Adjust seasoning with salt and white pepper as needed. Strain the sauce through a chinois.
To finish, gently poach the diced lobster in the beurre fondue. Place the poached lobster on top of the Boursin mashed potatoes. Place more beurre fondue over top and garnish with chives.
