Alice ABGRALL
Head sommelier : Les Frères Ibarboure Arriving in 2025 at Les Frères Ibarboure (4 toques) in Bidart, sommelier Alice Abgrall helped create alcohol-free pairings that have become one of the house’s signatures.
Presentation
Barely arrived, already at ease. Alice Abgrall joined the house of brothers Xabi Ibarboure and Patrice Ibarboure in Bidart in 2025, a large family property set in two hectares of parkland, as its sommelier.
A cellar rooted in the Basque Country
She looks after a cellar of some 1,400 references, well stocked with Irouléguy, Madiran and Spanish wines, alongside the great classics of the major regions.
Alcohol-free pairings designed as a team
From her very first day, she took part in reworking the alcohol-free offer at Les Frères Ibarboure (4 toques), devised collectively with the chefs and Soline Ibarboure, the restaurant’s director. Every dish on the menu has its match: a soft, floral cocktail for cod with Roscoff onions, Lapsang Souchong tea infused with fir needles from the garden for ember-cooked beef, or flavoured ice cubes that change the pairing as the dish is enjoyed.
