A wine that typically vanishes into the vaults of the Michelins. And to my surprise this has never been reviewed here. Mark Haisma is an Australian living close to Beaune (met him - he gave me a kiss). This guy makes world class Pinots and 10 years ago they were a good deal but those times are long over! 129$ retail. Very well executed and tuned to really show the finesses of this village (as it should be - the terroir is known for elegance). The 2021 is textbook. Pomegranate, raspberry, some cherry but not overpowering. Faint hint of oregano did he include some stems? This was risky! Tannins fully integrated and ultra refined. Worth it “oh yes”! Try it and for the rest of your life you have a reference point and your wallet will be thinner. Lucky for me the importer Jason is one of my wine buddies which helps but not much.
