The Durup family, as a wine dynasty tending their Chablis vineyards, has been passed from father to son over fifteen generations.
The vineyards cover 11 of the 20 communes within the Chablis appellation, and extend over 200 hectares under vine.
In the middle 20th century, Jean Durup began the renovation of the Château de Maligny and its surrounding vineyards, followed by his son and daughter, Jean-Paul and Valérie, and now ably managed by the oenologist and estate manager, Romain Ménissier.
Very recently, Domaines Jean Durup Père & Fils has joined Singapore Awards 2021 – Wines & Spirits Competition and won Three Gold Awards and a Silver Medal Award in this prestigious competition;

Interview of Mr. Cédric Steinberg – Export Manager
Question 1: Do you already export to Singapore ? If yes, where ? If no, what type of importers & distributors are you looking for in Singapore ?
At this point in time, we do not have any importer or distributor of our premium wines from Chablis in Singapore but it’s our priority for this New Year 2021. Since the end of last year, we have recruited a commercial agent who lives in Singapore for over 10 years. If you are interested in distributing our great wines from Chablis, please feel free to contact Mr. Olivier Negron under the following mail-address: olivier.negron@gmail.com
Question 2: What is the most unique and qualitative part of your products, different from competitors ?
Our main qualitative and competitive advantage is that the Durup family vineyards (200 ha as own properties) contain a high concentration of steep, well-exposed hillsides of rocky soil, terrain that guarantees the exceptional quality of the wine. And the most important concern of the estate is and has always been to reach the best possible quality. That’s the reason why our wines are sold worldwide and are on the wine list of the “stars Michelin” restaurants in France and the most famous ones around the world.
Question 3: When did you start to export your brand worldwide, and what is your development plan for the next years ?
The estate has always been export-oriented, for the simple reason that the wines from Chablis benefit from an international reputation for historical and cultural reasons.
We are looking forward to developing our business over the coming years mainly in Asia.
