Le Cache Euro 5200 Provincial #754

When a collection outgrows a makeshift cooler and starts demanding real cellar conditions, the Euro 5200 Provincial is the cabinet to consider. Holding 622 bottles across double-deep all-wood racks, it brings the storage capacity of a dedicated wine room into a single freestanding piece. The Provincial Cherry finish — complete with hand-carved trim, crown and base molding and hardwood French doors — was designed by Pinnacle Award-winning designer Martin de Blois, and it reads as furniture in a dining room, study or finished basement rather than as an appliance. What separates it from a wine cooler is what happens inside: a CellarPro cooling unit actively manages both temperature and humidity, the conditions that actually matter for aging fine wine over the long term.

Best For

• Moving a 400+ bottle collection out of a basement closet or improvised space and into a room where it can be properly stored and accessed
• Laying down structured reds — Bordeaux, Napa Cabernet, Northern Rhône — for a decade or more in a humidity-controlled environment
• Placing a high-capacity cabinet flush against a wall in a finished living space where both noise level and visual footprint need to work
• Storing a mixed collection that includes magnums or other oversized formats alongside standard bottles without reconfiguring the rack

• SB/0™ Zero-Clearance Placement: The cabinet can be positioned flush against a wall with no rear clearance required. The top-vent exhaust expels heat upward, not backward, so it works in tight alcoves, finished basements or between built-ins without a dedicated air gap.
• CellarPro cooling unit options: Choose between the 1800QT-HE and 1800XT-HE based on the room's thermal load. The 1800QT-HE is the quietest option. Review the Cooling Unit Selection Guide before ordering.
• Adjustable Humidity Control with digital thermostat - addresses the core limitation of standard wine coolers and refrigerators, which cycle humidity unpredictably and are not recommended for long-term aging.
• Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation throughout the cabinet body, paired with double-pane tinted glass doors, provides both thermal stability and UV protection without requiring blackout panels or curtains.
• Double-deep all-wood interlock racking: 544 racked slots at 3 3/4-inch spacing accommodate most standard and oversized bottles (including larger Burgundy and Champagne formats). An additional ~78-bottle bulk zone handles mixed cases or larger-format bottles that won't fit standard slots.
• Energy-Saver and Quick-Chill modes plus audible and visual alarms. The alarm system alerts you to temperature excursions - relevant if the unit is in a secondary home or less-monitored room. Optional bottle probe adds a second temperature reference point inside the collection itself.
• High-performance air filtration system with a replaceable filter accessible from the top - helps protect corks from airborne contaminants over extended aging periods.
• Hand-turned pewter pulls with keyed security locks on both doors
• Low-heat interior LED lighting
• Warranty split: 5 years on the CellarPro cooling unit, 2 years on the cabinet; optional extended warranty available for both.

PLACEMENT & VENTILATION

Before choosing a location for your Le Cache wine cabinet, make sure the installation meets the following requirements.

BASIC PLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS

• Power: Standard grounded outlet on a dedicated circuit
• Room Temperature: 50–95°F
• Floor: Hard, level surface capable of supporting the fully loaded cabinet
• Door Clearance: Allow approximately 1 inch of additional width in front of the cabinet for the doors to open 90°
• Ventilation: Requirements vary depending on the cabinet and cooling configuration

VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS

Proper ventilation is essential. The cooling unit exhausts warm air, which must be able to dissipate without being drawn back into the unit. Poor ventilation can prevent the cabinet from reaching the desired temperature and may cause the cooling unit to overheat or run continuously.

SUMMARY

1. UPRIGHT CABINET / TOP-VENTED

Our upright wine cabinets with top-vented cooling are designed so the cabinet can be placed directly against the rear wall.

Warm air exhausts through the top of the cabinet, while return air enters from above. Sufficient clearance above and around the cabinet is therefore required.

Minimum clearance above the cabinet:

• 18 inches: Contemporary, Carolina, Loft, Vault and Semi-Custom wine cabinets
• 12 inches: European Country, Mission and Gallery wine cabinets

Important: The sides of the cabinet must remain open so that warm air can dissipate. Top-vented upright cabinets should not be placed in a corner, enclosed space, alcove or closet unless a Front-Vent Hood is used.

2. UPRIGHT CABINET / REAR-VENTED

Upright wine cabinets can also be configured with rear-vented cooling, with return air entering from behind the cabinet. This configuration is useful when sufficient clearance above the cabinet is not available.

Requirements:

• The cabinet must be positioned 3–4 inches away from the rear wall.
• If the rear of the cabinet is not accessible, allow at least 7 1/2 inches above the cabinet so the cooling-unit air filter can be removed and replaced.
• If the rear of the cabinet is accessible, allow at least 3 inches above the cabinet for airflow. We also recommend an air deflector to direct warm exhaust air to the left of the cabinet.

Important: The sides of the cabinet must remain open. Rear-vented upright cabinets should not be placed in a corner, enclosed space, alcove or closet unless a Front-Vent Hood is used.

3. UPRIGHT CABINET / TOP-VENTED + FRONT-VENT HOOD

A Front-Vent Hood can be added to a top-vented upright cabinet when:

• The cabinet will be placed flush against the rear wall but does not have the required clearance above for a standard top-vented installation
• The cabinet will be installed in an alcove, closet or other enclosed space

Allow at least 7 1/2 inches above the cabinet for removal of the hood and air filter.

Compatibility:

• Contemporary, Loft and Vault: The Front-Vent Hood may be used with or without the decorative grille.
• European Country, Mission, Carolina and Gallery: The Front-Vent Hood may be used without the decorative grille. The grille will not fit with the crown moldings.

4. CREDENZA

Credenzas do not require clearance above the cabinet; however, because both intake and exhaust ventilation occur behind the cabinet, credenzas require 3–4 inches of clearance behind the cabinet, and the sides must remain open for proper ventilation.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

The cooling unit plugs into a standard grounded wall outlet. The power cord extends approximately 6 1/2 feet from the rear of the cabinet.

The outlet must be on a dedicated circuit. The cooling unit components draw 3 amps, and the electrical outlet on the side of the cooling unit is also rated for 3 amps.

Do not share the circuit with another motor- or compressor-driven appliance such as a refrigerator, wine cooler, air conditioner or garage door opener.

We recommend using a surge protector rated for at least 15 amps to protect the cooling unit from power surges.

If an extension cord is necessary, use a grounded cord with 14-gauge wire or heavier, and keep it as short as possible.

FLOOR & WEIGHT REQUIREMENTS

A fully loaded wine cabinet is extremely heavy. Make sure the floor can support the combined weight of the cabinet and wine.

The cabinet should also be placed on a hard, level surface. On thick carpeting, the cabinet may settle unevenly over time, which can affect door alignment.

If installing on thick carpet, place a carpet board beneath the cabinet. You may purchase one from Le Cache or have a local hardware store cut a 3/4-inch plywood board to the width x depth of the cabinet.

DOOR SWING CLEARANCE

When opened to 90 degrees, the doors extend approximately 1 inch beyond the width of the cabinet.

For cabinets without moldings, allow for this additional space when planning the installation. The extra clearance is required in front of the cabinet for the doors to open fully.

Is the Euro 5200 freestanding or can it be placed flush against a wall?

A: The Euro 5200 is a freestanding cabinet that uses SB/0™ Technology, which allows it to sit flush against a wall without requiring clearance at the rear. Exhaust vents through the top, so you do need open space above the unit. At 79" wide x 31" deep x 91" tall and 550 lbs, plan your space and doorway access carefully before delivery — the cabinet will not fit through a standard 32" doorway without disassembly.

What are the electrical requirements, and does it need a dedicated circuit?

A: The cabinet runs on 115V AC / 60 Hz, standard household current. Running draw is low — 2.4 amps (1800QTL-ECX), 2.9 amps (1800QT-ECX) or 3.0 amps (1800XT-ECX) — but startup (compressor kick-on) draws between 14.2 and 20.1 amps depending on the unit selected. A dedicated 20-amp circuit is strongly recommended to handle those startup spikes without tripping a shared breaker.

What is the real bottle capacity when storing large-format or wide-shouldered bottles like Burgundy or Champagne?

A: The 544 racked slots are sized at 3.8-inch spacing and use universal all-wood interlock racks designed to accommodate oversized bottles, including wide-shouldered Burgundy and Champagne formats. The remaining 78-bottle bulk zone handles stacked storage for additional large formats or mixed cases. Total rated capacity is 622 bottles, which assumes a realistic mix — not a best-case scenario of all standard Bordeaux bottles.

What is the difference between the three CellarPro cooling unit options (QTL, QT, XT)?

A: All three are CellarPro 1800-series units built in the USA and include digital temperature and humidity control, Energy-Saver and Quick-Chill modes, and audible and visual alarms. The key differences are in compressor efficiency and startup draw: the 1800QTL-ECX is the most energy-efficient at 2.4 running amps and 14.2 startup amps; the 1800QT-ECX draws 2.9 running / 20.1 startup amps; and the 1800XT-ECX draws 3.0 running / 20.1 startup amps. Le Cache provides a Thermal Load Calculations guide to help match the correct unit to your room conditions.

How well does this cabinet control humidity, and does it actively manage it?

A: Yes — this is an active system, not passive. The CellarPro cooling unit includes Adjustable Humidity Control that maintains conditions appropriate for long-term aging. This is a meaningful distinction from wine coolers and refrigerators, which regulate temperature only and allow humidity to drop to levels that dry out corks over time. The cabinet also uses foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation and double-pane tinted glass to minimize thermal exchange and UV exposure, both of which support stable internal conditions.

What does the warranty cover and for how long?

A: The warranty has two separate terms: 5 years on the CellarPro cooling system and 2 years on the cabinet itself. An optional extended warranty is also available for purchase. The cooling unit warranty is notably longer than what most competing brands offer on the refrigeration components, which reflects the durability expected from a unit in this price tier.
