The dark ruby-colored 2002 Gevrey-Chambertin En Motrot was harvested at 13.5% natural potential alcohol. Its spicy, blackberry-dominated nose leads to a medium-bodied character with outstanding balance, breadth, and depth of fruit. Loads of licorice-laced black cherries and flowers can be discerned in this velvety wine. Projected maturity: now-2011.
