Le Cache Euro Credenza Provincial #757

When a serious collection has outgrown a cooler and needs a permanent home in a dining room or study, the Le Cache Euro Credenza Provincial is one of the few wine cabinets that holds its own as furniture. Designed by Pinnacle Award-winning designer Martin de Blois, it draws on European country aesthetics — crown and base moldings, hand-carved accents, hardwood French doors and Cherry wood veneer — while housing a CellarPro cooling system that manages both temperature and humidity for long-term aging. At 71 inches wide and 40 inches tall, it reads as a credenza first and a wine storage unit second.

Inside, all-wood interlock racks hold 150 bottles in 3.8-inch slots sized for oversized formats, with additional bulk space for roughly 24 more. The CellarPro unit offers digital temperature control, adjustable humidity, energy-saver and quick-chill modes, and audible and visual alarms — the kind of active management that a refrigerator or passive cooler simply cannot deliver. Double-pane tinted glass and foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation provide thermal and UV protection, while the rear-vent exhaust design keeps the unit freestanding without special cabinetry. A 5-year warranty covers the cooling system and 2 years cover the full cabinet.

Best For

• Placing 150+ bottles of Bordeaux, Napa Cab or Rhône in a dining room or living space where the cabinet needs to look deliberate, not utilitarian
• Transitioning a growing collection out of a kitchen cooler and into a unit that actively controls humidity for long-term aging
• Outfitting a second home or finished basement where the cabinet will be a visible centerpiece of the room
• Collectors who want lock security on their bottles without sacrificing visibility through glass doors

• 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.
• Active humidity management: Unlike wine coolers or refrigerators, this cabinet maintains both temperature and humidity conditions simultaneously — a requirement for long-term aging of fine wines, where cork desiccation from low humidity is a real risk.
• Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation with sealed seams: High-R-value foam insulation throughout the cabinet walls, combined with tinted double-pane glass and sealed construction, buffers the interior against ambient temperature fluctuations and UV exposure.
• Rear-vent exhaust, freestanding placement: The cooling unit exhausts from the rear and requires only 3–4 inches of wall clearance. No built-in enclosure or under-counter cutout needed.
• Double-deep all-wood interlock racking: 150 racked slots at 3 3/4-inch spacing accommodate standard Bordeaux, Burgundy and oversized bottles; an additional ~24 bottles fit in the bulk storage area for a total of 174 bottles. Racks are all-wood, no metal components contacting the bottles.
• Energy-Saver and Quick-Chill modes give you control over operating behavior — useful when loading a new shipment or managing electricity draw during low-demand periods.
• Audible and visual temperature alarms, electronic thermostat with digital display and a high-performance air filtration system
• Hand-turned pewter pulls and keyed security locks on all three doors; low-heat interior LED lighting included
• Warranty: 5 years on the cooling system, 2 years on the full cabinet; optional extended warranty available at purchase

Pairs Well With

• Optional bottle probe accessory — monitors the internal temperature of a specific bottle rather than ambient air, giving more precise data on actual wine conditions during long-term aging

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 Credenza Provincial designed for long-term wine aging, or is it just a wine cooler?

A: This is a dedicated wine cabinet built for long-term cellaring, not a wine cooler or refrigerator. The distinction matters: standard coolers and refrigerators cycle humidity down to damaging levels and are not engineered for aging. The Euro Credenza Provincial maintains both temperature and humidity using an advanced CellarPro cooling unit, foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation and double-pane tinted glass that blocks UV. Adjustable humidity control, audible and visual alarms, and a digital thermostat give you the kind of environmental precision that fine Bordeaux, Burgundy and Napa Cabs actually require over multi-year storage.

What is the real-world bottle capacity, and will it fit oversized bottles like magnums or wider Burgundy bottles?

A: Total capacity is 174 bottles — 150 in racked slots spaced at 3.8-inch centers (double-deep configuration) and approximately 24 bottles in bulk stacked space. The all-wood interlock racks use a universal design that accommodates oversized bottles, so Burgundy-shaped bottles and similarly wide formats fit without modification. If you store a significant portion of wider-shouldered bottles, plan conservatively on racked capacity rather than assuming all 150 slots will be usable for your specific mix.

Can the Euro Credenza be installed built-in, or does it require freestanding placement?

A: The Euro Credenza Provincial is a freestanding cabinet only. It uses a rear-vent exhaust system that requires 3–4 inches of clearance behind the unit to dissipate heat. It cannot be recessed into cabinetry or placed flush against a back wall. If your remodel calls for a fully integrated built-in appearance, this unit is not the right fit — but in a dining room, living room or finished basement with adequate wall clearance, it functions well as a standalone furniture piece.

What are the electrical requirements, and will it run on a standard household circuit?

A: The cabinet runs on a standard 115V AC / 60 Hz outlet. Running amp draw is low — 2.4 Amps (CellarPro 1800QTL-ECX), 2.9 Amps (1800QT-ECX) or 3.0 Amps (1800XT-ECX) depending on which cooling unit is selected. Startup amps are significantly higher: up to 14.2–20.1 Amps at compressor startup. A dedicated 20-amp circuit is strongly recommended to handle startup surge cleanly and avoid tripping a shared breaker.

What does the warranty cover, and how long does it last?

A: The warranty is split: 2 years on the entire cabinet and 5 years on the CellarPro cooling unit. An optional extended warranty is also available for additional coverage beyond those terms. The cooling unit warranty is notably longer than what most competitors offer on their refrigeration systems, which reflects the durability of the USA-made CellarPro units used in Le Cache cabinets.

Who designed this cabinet, and how does it differ from other Le Cache models?

A: The Euro Credenza Provincial was designed by Martin de Blois, a Pinnacle Award-winning furniture designer. Compared to Le Cache’s taller column-style cabinets, the Credenza sits at just 40 inches high with a 71-inch wide by 31.5-inch deep footprint — a low-profile credenza format that fits under windows, along dining room walls or in spaces where a full-height cabinet would be too imposing. The Provincial finish uses premium Cherry wood veneer with hardwood French doors, hand-carved wood trim and hand-turned pewter pulls, giving it a distinctly European country aesthetic that differs from the more contemporary finishes in the Le Cache lineup.
