✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 2007 by Australian winemaker Mark Haisma, formerly head winemaker alongside Dr. Bailey Carrodus at Yarra Yering, this micro-négociant and domaine operation is anchored in Gevrey-Chambertin. Transitioning from an artisan négociant sourcing fruit across the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune to an estate vigneron with parcels in Gevrey and the northern Mâconnais, Haisma pursues an organic viticultural philosophy with minimal cellar intervention. His winemaking focuses on gentle extraction, judicious use of whole clusters, ambient yeast fermentations, and neutral oak to highlight transparent site expression rather than cellar imprint. Alongside benchmark village and premier cru Burgundies such as Gevrey-Chambertin and Volnay, Haisma crafts northern Rhône Syrah and cheeky, iconoclastic bottlings such as 'A Bogan in Bogandy' and his Mâconnais-grown Shiraz, delivering wines defined by mineral tension, savory freshness, and precise fruit purity.
