It was a professional experience she describes as &#8220;the most memorable and decisive of my career&#8221;. In 2020, \u00c9meline crossed the Channel to the British capital, where she landed a job at Sketch, chef Pierre Gagnaire&#8217;s three-star establishment. \u00c9meline worked in a private London club before signing with a major distribution company, while at the same time offering her wine advice to several restaurants in the process of opening. She meets Julien Samson, current director and head sommelier for the Arakel group, during his visit to the principality. The two kept in touch. Once the position became available, it was only natural that this talented sommelier should jump at the chance. We look forward to meeting her on September<sup>1<\/sup> at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arakel.ch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><strong>Arakel<\/strong><\/a> !       <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_16757\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16757\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16757 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Emeline-X-ARA-1075x1440.jpg\" alt=\"Emeline x ara\" width=\"1075\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Emeline-X-ARA-1075x1440.jpg 1075w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Emeline-X-ARA-373x500.jpg 373w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Emeline-X-ARA-300x402.jpg 300w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Emeline-X-ARA-600x804.jpg 600w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Emeline-X-ARA-900x1206.jpg 900w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Emeline-X-ARA-1200x1608.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/amoiel.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Emeline-X-ARA.jpg 1248w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1075px) 100vw, 1075px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-16757\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Emeline Gigaud \u00a9Arakel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00c9meline Gigaud is the new face of the dining room at the Michelin-starred Arakel restaurant in Eaux-Vives.
