Mark Haisma is an Australian born winemaker who established his domaine in Burgundy after extensive experience in both the Rhône Valley and Beaune, building a reputation for a hands on, intuitive approach to Pinot Noir. Based in Gevrey Chambertin, he operates primarily as a micro négociant, sourcing fruit from carefully selected growers across the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. His wines tend to prioritise energy, texture and drinkability, with a light touch in the cellar, often favouring whole bunch fermentation where appropriate, wild fermentations and élevage that preserves fruit purity and site character rather than heavy structural imprint. The style is modern and expressive while still anchored in clear appellation identity.
La Cave is a Volnay parcel that reflects the appellation’s hallmark finesse, with limestone rich soils and a gentle mid slope position that favour aromatic lift and finely grained tannins. The site typically yields Pinot Noir with a delicate balance of red fruit purity and underlying structure, making it well suited to a restrained, precision driven approach. Haisma works the cuvée with a proportion of whole bunch fermentation to enhance perfume and definition, while keeping extraction gentle to preserve the inherent delicacy of Volnay. Elevage in barrel is used to frame rather than dominate the fruit. The wine shows red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, alongside rose petal, spice and a subtle mineral thread. The palate is silky and poised, with fine tannins and a long, elegant finish that reflects both Volnay’s natural perfume and Haisma’s lifted, transparent style.
