(93 - 95 points) The 2012 Clos Saint-Denis Grand Cru, which is owned by Domaine Gagey and located adjacent to the vines of Philippe Charlopin, is higher-toned than the Clos de la Roche with scents of cassis and blueberry entwined with Indian ink, the oak nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with very fine tannins. Here it calms down, gains more harmony than the aromatics, and finishes sleek and sensual. There is just a touch of spice on the aftertaste, wrapping things up nicely.- NM
