Mark Haisma: the story of the Australian who conquered Burgundy. We are in the heart of the renowned wine region, in Gevrey-Chambertin. This is where the winery of Mark Haisma is located. Mark is originally from Australia, born to a French mother and 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 led him to become one of the most appreciated producers in the region, 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 significant marl and fossil content that give the wines a distinctive mineral structure. Mark Haisma began his Burgundy adventure by buying grapes from trusted, mostly organic, farmers. Over time, he has developed a deep knowledge of the best parcels in the region, vinifying with an expert and elegant hand. Wood is used sparingly, without overpowering the intrinsic characteristics of the wine. Mark firmly believes that the true character of wine lies in the salt and mineral faults of the soil, and he strives to express this complexity in his cuvées.
