Seville Orange Marmalade with Vintage Champagne
An elegant Great Taste Award-winning marmalade combining fragrant Seville oranges with Lanson Vintage Champagne for bright citrus, delicate wine notes and a refined finish.
Quick answer: Seville Orange Marmalade with Lanson Vintage Champagne is a handmade citrus preserve with fragrant peel, traditional Seville bitterness and the delicate depth of fine vintage champagne. It is especially lovely with brioche, buttery pastries, afternoon tea and celebratory desserts.
Our Champagne Marmalade brings together the confident citrus character of Seville oranges and the quiet elegance of Lanson Vintage Champagne.
The Seville oranges provide aromatic peel, lively acidity and the clean bitterness that gives traditional marmalade its distinctive structure.
The champagne adds a more delicate layer of flavour, bringing gentle wine notes, soft fruit character and a smooth, refined finish without overwhelming the oranges.
Choose this marmalade if you enjoy traditional Seville bitterness softened by the elegant character of fine vintage champagne.

Why Champagne Works with Seville Orange
Seville oranges have enough acidity, fragrance and bitterness to remain clearly defined alongside wine.
Their bold citrus flavour provides the structure, while the champagne softens the sharper edges and adds a more delicate, rounded character.
The result is still unmistakably Seville orange marmalade, but with a graceful finish that makes it particularly suited to pastries, afternoon tea, desserts and gifting.
Made with Lanson Vintage Champagne
We use Lanson Vintage Champagne to bring subtle depth and finesse to the preserve.
Rather than making the marmalade taste strongly alcoholic, the champagne complements the oranges with delicate wine character and a soft, lingering finish.
Its role is to enhance the Seville fruit, creating a marmalade that feels celebratory without losing the clarity and bitterness of a proper citrus preserve.
How We Make It
We begin with Seville oranges, preparing the fruit carefully so the peel becomes tender while retaining its fragrant citrus oils and natural character.
The Lanson Vintage Champagne is added in a carefully balanced quantity. It should add elegance and length without dulling the bright orange flavour.
Each batch is handmade in our Gloucestershire kitchen, creating a glossy marmalade with fine-cut peel, confident citrus and a smooth champagne finish.
How to Enjoy It
- Spread on warm brioche, croissants or buttered toast
- Serve with scones and clotted cream
- Spoon over thick yoghurt, pancakes or French toast
- Use as a filling or glaze for citrus cakes and pastries
- Serve with panna cotta, cheesecake or vanilla ice cream
- Pair with creamy cheese or add to a celebratory brunch board
Chef-crafted, small batch, preserving excellence.
Sarah’s Maker’s Note
The champagne should never hide the Seville oranges. I use it to soften the finish and add elegance, while keeping the fragrant peel and traditional citrus bitterness clear. The result should feel celebratory, but still taste like a proper marmalade.
