Tasting notes for the 2023 Gevrey Chambertin describe a bright crimson color with an open, welcoming nose of small, berried fruit and fragrant floral notes. On the palate, it offers good freshness, tension, a crunchy, fruity texture, and an energetic finish. Critics have noted a perfumed and floral nose with hints of wilted rose petal and rooibos infusing the red fruit, showcasing the typical Duroché purity. The palate is tightly knit and linear, with a slightly chalky texture, crisp, crunchy finish, and a peppery aftertaste. Other descriptions include smoky berries, petals, loamy soil, a medium-bodied, supple, and succulent palate that is bright, lively, and concludes with a saline finish.
