Le Cache wine cabinets maintain ideal temperature and humidity conditions for long term storage and aging of fine wines. Wine cabinets are different than wine coolers and refrigerators, which don't don't manage humidity conditions and therefore aren't recommended for long term storage of wine.

Design: The Wine Vault 3100 combines style and quality with insulated paneled doors for placement in a unconditioned environements ranging from 50F to 95F like garages and basements. But don't let it's ruggedness fool you - the Wine Vault 3100 features beautiful cherry wood veneer, our Classic hand-stained finish and our all-wood Interlock racking to accommodate most bottle sizes, including Burgundy and many Champagne bottles.

Construction: Paneled, insulated doors, sealed seams and premium insulation provide thermal and UV protection

Refrigeration: Advanced CellarPro cooling units provide digital temperature and humidity control.

Placement Requirements

PLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS

POWER REQUIREMENT
The cooling unit plugs into a standard wall outlet, and the outlet should be on a dedicated circuit. The components of the cooling unit draw 3 amps, and the electric outlet on the side of the cooling unit also is rated for 3 amps. The cord extends 6 1/2 feet from the back of the cabinet. If an extension cord is used, it should be 14-gauge wire or thicker, grounded, and as short as possible. We recommend using a surge protector rated at 15 amps or more. Under no circumstances should the wine cabinet share a circuit with another motor or compressor-based appliance, like a wine cooler, fridge or air conditioner.

FLOOR SURFACE
Because of the significant weight of your wine cabinet, it is important that it be placed on a hard surface, otherwise the cabinet may become skewed if the doors settle unevenly over time. If you will be placing your cabinet on thick carpeting, consider placing a carpet board underneath the wine cabinet. You can purchase a carpet board from Le Cache, or you can have your local hardware store cut a 3/4 inch plywood board to the following dimensions: 45w x 25d

DOOR SWING CLEARANCE
The doors of our wine cabinets swing "wide" by approximately 1 inch when open at 90 degrees. The additional width should be accounted for when purchasing cabinets that do not have moldings, because the stated widths of our wine cabinets do not account for the door swing. Please note that the additional width is required in front of the cabinet.

WEIGHT LOAD FACTOR
After loading your wine cabinet with wine bottles, it will be extremely heavy. When selecting a location for your cabinet, make sure that the floor underneath is strong enough to support the weight of the cabinet.

TEMPERATURE REQUIREMENTS
CellarPro cooling units are designed to handle temperatures ranging from 50 to 95F.

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
The cooling unit generates hot air that must be exhausted in such a way that it won't be recirculated by the cooling unit. If the hot air cannot be dissipated or channeled properly, and the cooling unit is forced to recycle its own hot air, the cooling unit will be unable to maintain cold temperatures inside the wine cabinet and/or will overheat and/or will run all the time. Proper ventilation can be achieved in one of three ways:

1. UPRIGHT CABINETS WITH TOP-VENT CONFIGURATIONS
Our upright wine cabinets have been engineered top-vent cooling units and SB/0 Technology so that they can be placed right up against the wall. In this configuration, the hot air generated by the cooling unit is ventilated through the top of the wine cabinet, and the return air comes from above the wine cabinet, so there must be above and to the sides of the cabinets for the hot air to dissipate, as follows:

2. UPRIGHT CABINETS WITH Rear-Vent Configurations
Our upright wine cabinets can be configured so that the return air comes from behind the wine cabinet. This configuration is useful in situations where sufficient clearance around the wine cabinet doesn't exist. In this configuration:

  • If the rear of the wine cabinet is not accessible, a minimum clearance of 7 1/2 inches above the wine cabinet is required for removal and replacement of the cooling unit air filter.
  • If the rear of the wine cabinet is accessible, a minimum clearance of 3 inches above the wine cabinet is required for proper airflow, and we recommend using our air deflector to direct the hot air exhaust to the left of the wine cabinet.
  • In all cases, the wine cabinet must be placed 3-4" away from the rear wall.
  • The sides always need to be open - in other words, placement in a corner, enclosed space, alcove or closet will not work without our front-vent hood (see Configuration 3 below)

3. UPRIGHT CABINETS with Front-Vent Hoods
If you want to place the wine cabinet flush against the wall but you don't have the required clearance (as outlined in Configuration 1 above), or you want to place the wine cabinet in an enclosed space, closet or alcove, our front-vent hood (placed on top of the wine cabinet) can be used with 7 1/2 inches of clearance above the wine cabinet for removal of the hood and the air filter. Please note:

4. CREDENZA WINE CABINETS
Credenza wine cabinets don't require any clearance above the wine cabinet; however, all credenzas require 3-4" of space behind the wine cabinet because all the ventilation (intake and exhaust) occurs behind the cabinet

Please note:
(1) We count the top of the racks as 1 row when counting rows in our racks.
(2) Every slot in the racks is 3 3/4" and sized to fit oversized Burgundy and most Champagne-size bottles.
(3) Bulk storage is located atop the racks (except for the first row atop the racks). Bulk storage capacity is based on Bordeaux-size bottles.
(4) Total capacity is the sum of racked plus bulk capacity, with double-deep storage in all cases except the Contemporary Credenza (which is single-deep). Usable capacity may be lower by 2-3 bottles when the first few cells under the cooling unit are left empty for proper air circulation.

I've had the vault about a month. The ordering process and confirmation were efficient. Delivery was smooth. Finally, the unit is working well and I am in the process of filling it with wines I can't wait to open!

Best Value Le Cache 3100

by -

The Le Cache 3100 is the best value I have found in terms of price, number of bottles, and features it offers

First time buyer of a wine cellar.

by

The cabinet is sturdy and provides ample room for all bottle types. The interior light is bright and allows you to see the labels on the bottles in the back of the racks. We bought a top venting Le Cache vault and recommend getting a vent cover to minimize dust getting into the system.

Do not expect good customer service.

I was shocked that an in stock item took over a month to deliver one state away. Then when it was delivered, it was ,missing the keys to the lock. The delivery guys looked everywhere, and said its typically inside but we couldn't find them. Customer service has been non existent, waiting days to get an answer when you spend this kind of money is ridiculous. If I ever get the keys I might be able to tell you how this works....

Sean, thank you for your feedback. According to our records, we shipped your cabinet the week after you placed your order, and it delivered 14 days later. This timing is normal for our large wine cabinets, which are shipped from our warehouse via specialized carriers. Our cabinets are shipped with the keys in an envelope inside the cabinet - even if the carrier lost the keys, of course we'll send replacement keys to you asap.

Le Cache Vault 3100

My Le Cache Vault 3100 has worked flawlessly for over ten years now. Holds a steady temperature even in our garage. The oversized slots in the wood racking is great and holds most Pinot Noir and Champagne bottles. Highly recommended.
