The vineyards for this cuvée are located in the village of Boisgibault in Tracy-Sur-Loire, where the Kimmeridgian marl soil, rich in marine fossils, adds a mineral edge to this fine and elegant wine. The name Akis is Greek for "thorn" or "tip", and it evokes the discrete touch of acacia found in this Pouilly Fumé.
