Mark Haisma

Mark Haisma: story of the Australian who conquered Burgundy. We are in the heart of the renowned wine region, in Gevrey-Chambertin. It is here that we find the winery of Mark Haisma, a native of Australia, born of a French mother and a Dutch father. After working for a decade at the Yarra Yerring winery in Australia, Mark decided to head west and immerse himself in the world of winemaking in Burgundy. This journey has led him to become one of the region's most highly regarded producers, thanks to his ability to capture and interpret the delicate nuances of the best crus. Gevrey-Chambertin, located in the Côte de Nuits, is particularly renowned for its robust and complex red wines. The soils here are rich in limestone and clay, with a significant presence of marl and fossils that give the wines a distinctive mineral structure. Mark Haisma began his adventure in Burgundy by buying grapes from trusted, mostly organic farmers. Over time, he developed a profound knowledge of the best plots in the region, vinifying with an expert and elegant hand. Wood is used sparingly, without overpowering the wine's intrinsic characteristics. Mark firmly believes that the true character of the wine lies in the salt and mineral faults of the soil, and strives to express this complexity in his cuvées.
