Subtle, backward, slightly austere nose of honey, citrus, minerals, white flowers all framed by distinct new wood notes are followed by full-bodied, beautifully textured flavors that display excellent length and impressive finishing intensity. This is quite closed and even vigorous swirling didn't coax much from it though this doesn't strike me as a wine that will remain closed up for very long. I would give the 2001 Montrachet 6 to 8 years of bottle age and then check in to see how it's evolving.
