Abrau-Durso to partner with Chinese black-caviar producer

The Abrau‑Durso Group has signed a memorandum of cooperation with Hangzhou Qiandaohu Xunlong Corporation, the world’s largest producer of black caviar under the Kaluga Queen brand.

«This is truly a new direction for us. We have established ourselves in the market as a producer of high‑quality yet affordable products, but now we also need to gain a foothold in the luxury segment,» said Boris Titov.

He noted that talks are underway to place Abrau-Durso wines in Kaluga Queen’s Chinese restaurants and launch joint gastronomic projects. The Chinese producer’s products are exported to 46 countries worldwide, featured on the first-class passenger menu, and supplied to 21 of the 26 three-Michelin-starred restaurants in Paris.

PAO Abrau-Durso was established in 2007. According to the company’s figures, in 2024 its net profit stood at 1.8 billion roubles, with revenue of 15.8 billion roubles.
