The Charles Awarded Three Goblets at 2025 Australia’s Wine List of the Year Awards

Three goblets. Three years running.

The highest recognition at the Wine List of the Year Awards – maintained again for a list that puts Champagne and Burgundy in the starring roles. Elegance to the max, with 800 wines to choose from.

Head Sommelier Maxime Bellon has built something distinct here. The goblet system doesn’t just measure size – it rewards curation, depth, and a point of view. It’s recognition for the work behind every bottle: the relationships with producers, the hours spent tasting, the commitment to quality over trends.

This is what we do at The Charles. Year after year.
