The story
Born and trained in Australia — including a long, decade-long tenure at Yarra Yering — Mark Haisma moved to Burgundy at the start of his European career and began releasing wines as a négociant with the 2009 vintage. Over the years he has developed his project by establishing his own winery and by acquiring vineyards and a small domaine in Gevrey‑Chambertin toward the end of the 2010s. He is known both for purchasing grapes from trusted local growers and for managing his own parcels, progressively expanding his presence across various subzones of Burgundy, with a few projects also in the Rhône and the Mâconnais.
Production philosophy
A pursuit of purity and balance: rigorous attention to vineyard work, minimal use of oak and winemaking practices that prioritize the expression of place rather than cellar interventions. It favors wines with a fresh, precise palate that reflect each climat.
Terroir and vineyards
Operates primarily in the Côte de Nuits and other areas of Burgundy, with occasional ventures into the Northern Rhône for some wines.
