asian food pairing / wine style
What is the typical style of this wine, and what Asian food pairings would you recommend?
This Monthelie 1er Cru from Guy Roulot is a classic Burgundy Pinot Noir, known for its elegance, bright red fruit (cherry, raspberry), earthy undertones, and sometimes floral notes. It's medium-bodied with fine tannins. It pairs beautifully with lighter Asian dishes such as roasted chicken, duck with delicate sauces, mushroom dishes, or dim sum.

how to store at home
Could you provide details on the bottle's condition (label, fill level, capsule) and offer advice on home storage? Does the damaged label affect its value?
This bottle has a very damaged label (score 0), but the fill level is excellent (in neck, score 10) and the capsule is perfect (score 10). The label damage does not affect the wine's quality, making it a very good value for money/price for personal consumption. For home storage, keep it in a cool, dark place with consistent temperature (12-15°C) and moderate humidity (60-75%), laid on its side.
