Details
When a collection has grown past 150 bottles and a kitchen cooler or closet conversion is no longer a serious option, the Le Cache 2400 in Provincial Cherry is the cabinet most collectors land on. At 39 inches wide and 82 inches tall, it holds 286 bottles in a double-door footprint that fits against a dining room wall or in a finished basement without requiring a built-in installation. The CellarPro cooling unit inside manages both temperature and humidity with a digital display visible through the Venetian arch windows — a meaningful distinction from a refrigerator or standard wine cooler, neither of which controls humidity over the long term.
The Provincial Cherry finish works across a range of interiors, from Craftsman and traditional dining rooms to more contemporary spaces. The all-wood interlock racks hold standard Bordeaux bottles and oversized formats alike, and the SB/0 technology means the cabinet can sit flush against a wall rather than requiring clearance for rear exhaust. Top-vent exhaust handles air circulation upward, which keeps the unit out of the way in tighter spaces.
Best For
- Moving a 150–286 bottle collection from a closet conversion or undercounter cooler into a dedicated temperature- and humidity-controlled environment
- Placing in a dining room or study where the unit needs to look like furniture and run quietly enough not to be noticed
- Collectors storing a mix of standard Bordeaux bottles and larger formats who need racks that accommodate both without adapters
- Outfitting a second home or finished basement where a self-contained freestanding unit is more practical than a built-in installation

What These Specs Mean
- Running vs. Startup Amps: The startup (inrush) draw is several times higher than the running draw — this determines whether your existing circuit can handle the unit without tripping a breaker, and is the figure to give an electrician when planning a dedicated circuit.
- Cooling Unit Options (QTL / QT / XT): These are three distinct CellarPro compressor configurations with different efficiency and noise profiles; the 1800QTL-ECX draws the least current at startup (14.2 Amps), making it the better fit for circuits with limited headroom or noise-sensitive living spaces.

Placement Requirements
PLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS
POWER REQUIREMENT:
The power cord extends 6 1/2 feet from the rear of the cabinet. If an extension cord is used, it should be 14-gauge wire or thicker, grounded, and as short as possible.
The cooling unit plugs into a standard grounded wall outlet. We recommend adding a surge protector, rated at 15 amps or more (for example, click here), to protect the cooling unit from power surges.
The outlet must 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 cooling unit should not, under any circumstances, share a circuit with another motor or compressor-based appliance, like a wine cooler, fridge, air conditioner, or garage opener.
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 (inches).
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 with 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 clearance above and to the sides of the cabinets for the hot air to dissipate, as follows: - Contemporary wine cabinets, Carolina wine cabinets, Loft wine cabinets, Vault wine cabinets and a Semi-Custom wine cabinets require 18 inches of clearance above the wine cabinet.
- European Country wine cabinets and Mission wine cabinets require 12 inches of clearance above the wine cabinet.
- 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).
- 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 inches 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: - Contemporary wine cabinets, Loft wine cabinets and Vault wine cabinets can use our front vent hood with OR without the decorative grill.
- European Country wine cabinets, Mission wine cabinets and Carolina wine cabinets can use our front vent hood without the decorative grill (the decorative grill will not fit with crown moldings).
4. CREDENZA WINE CABINETS
Credenza wine cabinets don't require any clearance above the wine cabinet; however, all credenzas require 3-4 inches of space behind the wine cabinet because all the ventilation (intake and exhaust) occurs behind the cabinet.
Bottle Capacity

| Credenza - Euro & Mission | 7 5 | 5 8 | 150 | 30 | 180 |
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.
Q&A
Can the Le Cache 2400 Provincial be placed flush against a wall, or does it need clearance behind it?
A: Yes — the cabinet uses Le Cache’s SB/0™ Technology, which routes exhaust through a top vent rather than the rear. This allows the unit to sit completely flush against a wall with zero rear clearance required. It is a freestanding cabinet, not a built-in, but the top-vent design makes it practical for tight dining room, living room or basement placements where rear clearance is unavailable.
What are the electrical requirements, and does it need a dedicated circuit?
A: The cabinet runs on 115V AC / 60 Hz standard household current. Depending on which CellarPro cooling unit is installed, running amperage is 2.4 Amps (1800QTL-ECX), 2.9 Amps (1800QT-ECX) or 3.0 Amps (1800XT-ECX). Startup (compressor) amps are significantly higher — 14.2 to 20.1 Amps depending on the unit — which is the figure relevant to circuit sizing. A dedicated 20-amp circuit is the standard recommendation for any of these configurations.
Will it actually hold 286 bottles, including larger Bordeaux or Burgundy bottles?
A: Total rated capacity is 286 bottles: 256 bottles in racked slots with 3.8-inch slot spacing and approximately 30 bottles in bulk stacking space. The all-wood interlock racks use a universal design built to accommodate oversized bottles, so standard Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne formats fit without modification. Double-deep storage doubles the density per row, so the physical footprint — 39” wide x 29” deep x 82” tall — delivers a high bottle-per-square-foot ratio.
Does this cabinet actively manage humidity, or does it only control temperature?
A: It manages both. The integrated CellarPro cooling unit includes adjustable humidity control with a digital display — a meaningful distinction from wine coolers and standard refrigerators, which cycle moisture out of the air and are not suited for long-term cork-sealed bottle storage. Maintaining humidity in the correct range prevents corks from drying and allows for multi-year to multi-decade aging.
How quiet is the CellarPro cooling unit, and is this cabinet appropriate for a living room or dining room?
A: Le Cache specifically updated this cabinet series with what they describe as the most advanced and quietest CellarPro cooling units available. The 1800QTL-ECX variant draws only 2.4 running amps, reflecting its high efficiency, and CellarPro publishes detailed sound performance data for each unit. For living room or dining room placement, the QTL configuration is the quietest option among the three available.
What does the warranty actually cover, and for how long?
A: The warranty has two separate terms: 2 years on the entire cabinet and 5 years specifically on the cooling system. An optional extended warranty is also available for purchase. Because the cooling unit is the most mechanically complex component, the longer 5-year coverage on that component is the more consequential part of the warranty for long-term reliability.

Beautiful piece to store wines
by Malbuster
I am very happy with the unit. It is quiet, just a minimal hum when it is running.
Better than expected
by Kyle Mortara -
Beautiful and well made. Delivery service was excellent. Now I need to fill it up.
Beautiful and quiet
by Nancy
Cabinet is very sturdy and is a beautiful piece of furniture on its own. Racks are wide enough to hold all standard sizes of bottles. I only have a couple of bottles that are too tall to double up. 1800QTL cooling unit is very quiet.
Wonderful quality, look and finish
by Keith F
I am quite stunned at the quality, fit and finish of this piece of "furniture" It is built to last a lifetime and will surprise anyone who hears that it was less that $5k delivered!! I have had a succession of cheap store wine fridges that look cheap and only last 1-2 years, I finally did a lot of research and concluded that there i still a lot of poor quality even in the $3k-$4k range for this size. But then there is Le Cache.............
It is great!
by Larry S
When people see our newly remodeled family/entertainment room, do they comment on the new TV, the new wood flooring, the crown molding or the paint job? No, all they see is the wine cabinet. It is great!
