Mark Haisma's Bourgogne Pinot Noir is a masterclass in capturing the vibrant, energetic spirit of Burgundy with a touch of New World precision. Sourced from carefully selected parcels across the region, including vineyards near Gevrey-Chambertin, this wine pays homage to the ancient monastic traditions of Burgundy, where Cistercian monks first mapped the complex terroirs of the Côte d'Or. Haisma employs low-intervention winemaking techniques, often incorporating partial whole-cluster fermentation and aging in seasoned French oak barrels. This approach coaxes out the classic, delicate perfume of the Pinot Noir grape, resulting in a wine that balances bright red berry fruit with subtle earthy undertones, fine-grained tannins, and a refreshing mineral finish.
🍾 wine.about_producer
Established in 2009 by Australian winemaker Mark Haisma, a former protégé of Dr. Bailey Carrodus at Yarra Yering, this micro-négoce operation is based in Gevrey-Chambertin within the heart of Burgundy, France. Haisma transitioned from the Yarra Valley to Burgundy to craft low-intervention, terroir-driven wines that marry classic French elegance with a touch of New World energy. Operating from his own custom-built winery completed in 2016, he meticulously sources fruit to produce small-batch Burgundy appellations—including Volnay, Pommard, and Meursault 'Sous la Velle'—alongside expressive Rhône Valley Syrah and Grenache blends. His signature style is defined by purity of fruit, bright acidity, and fine-grained tannins, playfully celebrated in distinctive cuvées like 'A Bogan in Bogandy'.
