Details

When a collection has grown past a few hundred bottles and long-term aging is the goal, a kitchen cooler simply cannot do the job. The Le Cache Contemporary 3800 Classic Cherry is a serious storage cabinet for serious collectors — holding 458 bottles in a double-deep configuration behind classic arch windows of tinted, double-pane glass. At 58 inches wide and 86 inches tall in a warm Cherry finish, it reads as furniture in a dining room or finished basement while delivering the controlled environment that Bordeaux, Burgundy and Napa reds actually need to develop over years, not just weeks.

The CellarPro cooling unit (made in the USA) handles both temperature and humidity with digital precision — a distinction that separates this cabinet from wine coolers and refrigerators, which manage cold but not moisture. Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation and sealed seams hold those conditions steady, while the top-vent exhaust and SB/0™ technology allow the cabinet to sit flush against a wall without sacrificing airflow. The all-wood interlock racks accommodate oversized bottles and double-deep storage, so a mixed collection of standard Bordeaux, magnums and wider Burgundy bottles can be organized without compromise. A security lock, stainless bar pull and low-heat LED interior light round out a build that takes the collection as seriously as the collector does.

Best For

  • Transitioning a collection of 300–450 bottles out of a closet conversion or undercounter cooler and into a climate-controlled environment built for aging
  • Placing a large-format cabinet in a dining room, library or finished basement where the furniture aesthetic matters as much as the function
  • Storing a mixed cellar of standard and oversized bottles — Bordeaux, Burgundy and larger formats — without needing separate racking solutions
  • Outfitting a second home where a reliable, low-maintenance cooling system with audible and visual alarms provides peace of mind between visits

Features

  • CellarPro cooling unit with three model options: The cabinet is available with the 1800QTL-ECX, 1800QT-ECX or 1800XT-ECX — all US-made and all backed by a 5-year warranty. Running amp draw ranges from 2.4A to 3.0A depending on the variant, so confirm your dedicated circuit capacity before selecting a model.
  • SB/0™ Technology (zero rear clearance): The cabinet is engineered to sit flush against a wall with no rear gap required. Relevant if you’re placing this in a finished dining room, alcove or built-in niche where pulling the unit away from the wall is not practical.
  • Top-vent exhaust: Heat discharges upward rather than out the rear, which works together with the flush-wall design and avoids the need to account for rear ventilation space in your floor plan.
  • Adjustable humidity control with Energy-Saver and Quick-Chill modes: The CellarPro unit manages both temperature and humidity digitally. Energy-Saver moderates compressor cycling during stable ambient conditions; Quick-Chill accelerates recovery after a large bottle load. Audible and visual alarms trigger if either parameter drifts outside the set range.
  • All-wood interlock racks with 3.8-inch slots in a double-deep configuration: The 408 racked slots are sized to accommodate oversized Burgundy and Champagne formats without adapters. The remaining ~50-bottle bulk space at the bottom handles cases or larger formats stacked flat.
  • Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation: Higher R-value per inch than standard expanded foam, which reduces thermal load on the cooling unit and is particularly relevant if ambient room temperatures run warm.
  • High Performance Air Filtration System included
  • Stainless bar pulls with individual security locks on both doors; low-heat interior LED lighting; optional bottle probe available for direct in-bottle temperature monitoring

Pairs Well With

  • The optional bottle probe accessory, which directs the cooling unit to read temperature from inside a bottle rather than from ambient cabinet air for more precise aging condition tracking.
  • Le Cache’s optional extended warranty, which stretches coverage on the cabinet beyond the standard 2-year term.

What These Specs Mean

  • Running / Startup Amps: Running amps reflect the compressor's normal draw during operation; the startup figure is a brief surge when the compressor initiates and determines whether a dedicated circuit or heavier-gauge wiring is required at your installation location.
  • Cooling Unit Variants (QTL / QT / XT): These designate different compressor configurations within the CellarPro 1800 family, each varying in noise output and startup load; the QTL draws significantly less power at startup (14.2 Amps vs. 20.1 Amps), which matters in installations with shared or lower-capacity circuits.

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.

FAQs

How many bottles can the Le Cache 3800 actually hold and will larger bottles fit?

A: This cabinet provides a total capacity of 458 bottles, consisting of 408 racked slots and approximately 50 bottles in bulk storage. The all-wood interlock racks feature 3.8-inch universal slots designed to accommodate oversized bottles such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Champagne without scraping labels.

Can this wine cabinet be placed flush against a wall or does it need clearance for venting?

A: Thanks to SB/0 technology and a top-vent exhaust system, this unit can be placed completely flush against a wall. You do not need to leave rear clearance for airflow, making it easier to integrate into dining rooms or living spaces where floor space is limited.

How loud is the cooling system and can it be used in a quiet living area?

A: The cabinet is equipped with CellarPro cooling units, which are engineered for quiet operation in residential environments. For the lowest noise levels, the 1800QTL-ECX model is recommended, while the 1800XT-ECX provides higher cooling power for warmer environments at a slightly higher decibel level.

Does this unit manage humidity levels for long-term aging?

A: Yes, unlike standard wine refrigerators, Le Cache cabinets include adjustable humidity control and digital thermostats to maintain optimal conditions. The system uses foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation and sealed seams to preserve the corks and integrity of your wine over many years.

Is the cabinet built with solid wood and does it include a lock?

A: The exterior features Cherry wood veneer with a solid hardwood door and furniture trim for structural integrity. To protect your collection, each cabinet comes standard with a security lock and a stainless bar pull handle.

What kind of warranty coverage is included with this model?

A: Le Cache provides a 5-year warranty on the CellarPro cooling system and a 2-year warranty on the entire cabinet structure. Optional extended warranties are also available to provide additional long-term protection for your investment.
