Our Japanese Sake
What is Sake?
Sake is a traditional Japanese alcoholic drink made by fermenting rice. It’s often called rice wine, but technically it’s closer to beer or wine-making crossed together, because the starch in rice is converted into sugars before fermentation.
In Japan, sake is:
Deeply tied to ritual, hospitality, and celebration
Consumed with meals rather than as a standalone spirit
Seen as a drink of balance and harmony, not intoxication

Described by Patrick as a “naked” wine, Natur is intended to offer a more transparent expression of its origin, allowing the character of the soil, vines, and fruit to be revealed with greater clarity and immediacy.

The Champseix family has cultivated vines at Vieux Chevrol for generations, maintaining a deeply traditional approach to viticulture; one that would today be described as natural. Wine Traditions has had the privilege of working with two generations of the family: first with Jean-Pierre Champseix, whose profound understanding of, and reverence for, the land shaped the estate’s identity.
In 2016, his son Michel Champseix assumed stewardship of the vineyard and immediately initiated the transition toward formal organic certification, reinforcing the family’s long-standing commitment to respectful, sustainable winegrowing.

Rivaner 1er Cru Côtes de Remich 2021
Origin: Luxembourg
Colour: White
Bottle Size: 75cl
RefPB1
Description
With a complex, vinous and harmonious nose, we find in this wine a taste of fresh fruit, elegant, balanced and pleasant with a nice length.
The Müller-Thurgau, or Rivaner, is named after Professor Müller of Thurgau, Switzerland, who created it in 1882 by crossing Riesling and Gutedel, not, as previously assumed, Riesling and Silvaner. It yields about 30% more than Riesling and ripens earlier, usually in the latter part of September.
While it requires less sun and makes few demands of the climate, it does need more rain than Riesling, as well as soil with good drainage. Its wines are generally light, with a flowery bouquet and less acidity than Riesling. Müller-Thurgau often carries a hint of Muscat in its flavor.
Wines are best consumed while fresh and young. Dry versions are increasingly marketed under the synonym Rivaner.

Auxerrois 1er Cru Côtes de Remich 2021
Origin: Luxembourg
Colour: White
Bottle Size: 75cl
RefPB2
Description
A wine with a nose of yellow fruits, orange peel and very creamy. On the palate it is soft and broad with a beautiful harmony. Auxerrois blanc is thought to have originated in Lorraine, rather than near Auxerre in the Yonne. Recent DNA fingerprinting suggests that it is a cross between Gouais blanc and Pinot, the same ancestry as Chardonnay. The name Auxerrois blanc has actually been used as a synonym for Chardonnay in the Moselle region in France, which explains why there is also a longer name (Auxerrois Blanc de Laquenexy) for the grape variety.

RefPB3
Description
With its golden yellow colour and exotic nose, it is also lemon, peach, a touch of gunflint and a marked minerality that determine this wine. On the palate, very complex and balanced with a nice length.
Producer story
Riesling is a white grape variety that originated in the Rhine region. Riesling is an aromatic grape variety displaying flowery, almost perfumed, aromas as well as high acidity. It is used to make dry, semi-sweet, sweet, and sparkling white wines.
Riesling wines are usually varietally pure and are seldom oaked. In terms of importance for quality wines, it is usually included in the "top three" white wine varieties together with Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc. Riesling is a variety that is highly "terroir-expressive", meaning that the character of Riesling wines is greatly influenced by the wine's place of origin.
Food Pairing
It goes perfectly with seafood, poultry and salads.
Pinot Gris 1er Cru Côtes de Remich 2022
Origin: Luxembourg
Colour: White
Bottle Size: 75cl
RefPB4
Description
A nose of ripe yellow fruits and gently spicy. A creamy wine with those typical Pinot Gris aromas.
Producer
Until the 18th and 19th centuries, the grape was a popular planting in Burgundy and Champagne, but poor yields and unreliable crops caused the grape to fall out of favor in those areas. Researchers at the University of California, Davis, have determined that Pinot Gris has a remarkably similar DNA profile to Pinot Noir and that the color difference is derived from a genetic mutation that occurred centuries ago. The leaves and the vines of both grapes are so similar that the coloration is the only aspect that differentiates the two.
Food Pairing
A wine that goes very well with autumn salads and poultry, not forgetting creamy pasta.

Tinto, Artifice, Borja Perez Viticultor, Spain – Canary Islands 2017
Origin: Spain, Canary Islands
Colour: Red
Bottle Size: 75cl
RefPB1
Description
Listán Negro, the principal grape in Artífice Tinto, offers a distinctive alternative to Cabernet Franc, showcasing the unique character of this native variety. The wine presents a light and fresh profile with naturally high acidity and low tannins. Aromatically, it combines notes of pepper, dried pine needles, cranberry, strawberry and exotic spices, with a subtle hint of smokiness. On the palate, it is surprisingly delicate, with a light to medium body and gentle tannins. Despite its volcanic origins, the wine displays complexity with a softer and more elegant expression than might be expected.
Producer
From racing car mechanic to winemaker, Borja Pérez has become a leading figure in the Canary Islands wine scene. After inheriting his family’s vineyard in 2011, he chose to vinify his own wines rather than sell the grapes. His focus shifted toward revitalising indigenous grape varieties such as Listán Blanco, Listán Negro, Marmajuelo, Vijariego Negro and Baboso Negro. This ongoing work includes restoring neglected, ungrafted vineyards as well as establishing new plantings.
The Artífice label reflects Pérez’s commitment to traditional viticulture. By working closely with local growers and purchasing low-yield harvests, he aims to produce high-quality wines at accessible prices. Artífice Tinto, with a limited production of approximately 4,000 bottles, exemplifies this philosophy through its blend of Listán Negro and Baboso grapes.
Food Pairing
Recommended dishes include papas arrugadas (wrinkled potatoes with pepper sauce), slow-cooked pork with vegetables, and Moroccan chicken tagine.

Today, Alessio and his sons Tullio and Carmelo continue to uphold tradition while embracing sustainable practices and modern techniques.

Rhum Agricole Blanc “Cuvée Caribaea” 2020, C.O.M.E.
Origin: Martinique
Colour: Clear

Description
Vintage 2020, each bottle is presented in an individual wooden case.
The aroma unfolds slowly, with soft notes of fresh cane and gentle citrus that feel immediately inviting. Lemon appears first, rounded and warm rather than sharp, before giving way to greener tones and a natural, earthy cane character. As it opens in the glass, subtle vegetal nuances and a touch of pepper emerge, adding depth and texture without disturbing the calm. Everything feels composed and settled, as if the spirit has nothing left to prove.
On the palate, the entry is smooth and reassuring. The rum is generous yet controlled, delivering a full, mature expression of cane with a natural sweetness that feels effortless rather than indulgent. Hints of lime and soft spice provide just enough lift to keep the experience focused, making it equally suited to slow contemplation or a quiet second pour.
The finish is long and enveloping, lingering with warmth and balance. It leaves a sense of completeness on the palate, the kind that encourages you to pause, sit back, and return to the glass at your own pace.

Sake is a traditional Japanese alcoholic drink made by fermenting rice. It’s often called rice wine, but technically it’s closer to beer or wine-making crossed together, because the starch in rice is converted into sugars before fermentation.
What it’s made from
Rice (polished to remove outer layers)
Water
Yeast
Kōji mold (Aspergillus oryzae), which converts rice starch into fermentable sugar
How it’s different from wine
Wine ferments natural sugars from grapes
Sake ferments starch, which first has to be converted into sugar
Alcohol levels are typically 15–16%, higher than wine
How it tastes
Sake is not usually “strong” or harsh. Styles range widely:
Dry or gently sweet
Light and crisp or rich and umami-driven
Flavours can include rice, melon, pear, apple, floral notes, nuts, or savoury elements
How it’s served
Can be served chilled, room temperature, or gently warmed, depending on style
Designed to be food-friendly, not overpowering
Main quality categories (simplified)
Junmai – pure rice sake, no added alcohol
Ginjo / Daiginjo – higher-polish rice, more refined and aromatic
Junmai Daiginjo – top-tier, elegant, precise styles
Cultural role
In Japan, sake is:
Deeply tied to ritual, hospitality, and celebration
Consumed with meals rather than as a standalone spirit
Seen as a drink of balance and harmony, not intoxication
