The superb 2001 Ermitage Chante Alouette boasts unctuosity, thickness, richness, and minerality, along with flower, crushed oyster shell, iodine, honeysuckle, and orange/apricot aromas. It appears destined for 10-15 years of delicious drinking. Chapoutier feels the best food match for his white Ermitage is Indian curries.
