Le Cache Contemp 1400 Provincial #733

• SB/0 (flush-to-wall) technology: The CellarPro cooling unit exhausts heat through the top of the cabinet rather than the rear, so no clearance gap behind the unit is required. The cabinet can sit directly against a wall, which matters in tighter dining rooms or alcove placements.
• Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation: This delivers a higher R-value per inch than standard polystyrene, giving the cabinet better thermal stability without adding bulk — a meaningful difference for maintaining the narrow temperature range serious aging requires.
• Active humidity control with digital readout: The electronic thermostat manages both temperature and humidity and displays both values. This is the core distinction between this cabinet and a wine cooler or refrigerator, which regulate temperature only and are not suited to long-term storage.
• Universal all-wood interlock racks with 3.8-inch slots: The rack spacing accommodates oversized formats — Burgundy, Champagne and large-format bottles — without any modification or separate rack purchase. Double-deep configuration provides 160 racked slots plus approximately 12 bottles of bulk space.
• Quick-Chill and Energy-Saver modes: Quick-Chill pulls the interior down rapidly after loading or a door event; Energy-Saver reduces compressor cycling once conditions stabilize. Audible and visual alarms trigger on excursions.
• Optional bottle probe: Measures actual bottle temperature rather than ambient cabinet air — useful when calibrating set points for bottles you intend to hold for a decade or more.
• Stainless bar pull and keyed security lock included. Low-heat interior LED lighting standard.
• CellarPro cooling unit carries a 5-year warranty; the cabinet itself is covered for 2 years. Optional extended warranty is available separately.

Pairs Well With

• The optional bottle probe accessory — lets you verify actual bottle temperature rather than relying solely on air temperature readings, recommended if you are storing wines intended for aging beyond 5 years.

What These Specs Mean

• Running vs. Startup Amps: Startup amps spike briefly when the compressor engages - the peak figures listed (up to 20.1 amps) determine whether a dedicated circuit is required at your installation location.
• Cooling Unit Options (QTL / QT / XT): These are three distinct CellarPro compressor configurations available for this cabinet; each differs in noise output, energy draw and cooling capacity - use the Thermal Load Calculations link to match the correct unit to your room conditions.

Can the 1400 Provincial be placed flush against a wall, or does it require clearance behind it?

A: The 1400 uses Le Cache's SB/0 technology with a top-vent exhaust, meaning heat is expelled through the top of the cabinet rather than the rear. No rear clearance is required — it can sit flush against any wall. The cabinet is 31" wide x 29" deep x 72" tall and weighs 320 lbs, so factor in doorway width and floor load when planning placement.

What is the actual bottle capacity, and will it fit oversized bottles like Burgundy or Champagne?

A: Total capacity is 172 bottles — 160 in racked slots (3.8" wide, double-deep configuration) and approximately 12 in bulk stacking space. The all-wood interlock racks use a universal design that accommodates oversized bottles, so wide-shouldered Bordeaux, Burgundy pinots and Champagne all fit without modification.

Does this cabinet actively control humidity, or does it just cool like a standard wine refrigerator?

A: The 1400 includes adjustable humidity control managed through the CellarPro cooling unit — a critical distinction from wine coolers and standard refrigerators, which only regulate temperature and are not recommended for long-term aging. Stable humidity prevents cork desiccation and protects the seal over years of storage. Temperature and humidity are both monitored via the electronic thermostat and digital display, with audible and visual alarms if conditions fall outside range.

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

A: The cabinet operates on 115V AC / 60 Hz. Running amp draw is low — 2.4A for the 1800QTL-ECX, 2.9A for the 1800QT-ECX and 3.0A for the 1800XT-ECX — but startup (inrush) amps are significantly higher: 14.2A for the QTL-ECX and 20.1A for both the QT-ECX and XT-ECX. Review Le Cache's published Thermal Load Calculations to confirm circuit requirements for your specific installation.

How quiet is the CellarPro cooling unit in a dining room or living space?

A: Le Cache specifies that the 1800-series CellarPro units are the most advanced and quietest cooling units available for this cabinet. The 1800QTL-ECX is the quietest of the three options (2.4 running amps). All three units include Energy-Saver and Quick-Chill modes. Le Cache publishes a dedicated Cooling Unit Sound Performance chart for buyers who want measured decibel data before committing.

What does the warranty cover and for how long?

A: The warranty is split into two tiers: 2 years on the entire cabinet and 5 years on the CellarPro cooling system. The cooling unit is manufactured in the USA. An optional extended warranty is also available for buyers who want longer coverage.
