Le Cache Contemp Credenza Provincial #882
Details
The Contemporary Credenza in Provincial Cherry is built for collectors who want serious long-term storage where they actually live. At 73 inches wide and just 23 inches deep, it sits flush against a dining room wall or along a hallway without projecting into the space, and at credenza height it functions as a surface as much as a cabinet. The warm Cherry finish and gently arched hardwood doors read as furniture first — the CellarPro cooling unit and tinted double-pane glass are doing real work behind the scenes.
What separates a cabinet like this from a wine cooler is the full environmental system inside. CellarPro’s US-made cooling unit manages both temperature and humidity digitally, with adjustable humidity control, energy-saver and quick-chill modes, and audible and visual alarms if conditions drift. Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation and sealed seams hold the environment steady even in a room with fluctuating ambient temperatures. The 93 racked slots use 3.8-inch all-wood interlock racks that accommodate oversized bottles — Burgundy and Champagne formats included — with additional bulk space for roughly 22 more bottles. A rear-vent exhaust requires just 3 to 4 inches of wall clearance, making placement practical in finished rooms.
Best For
- Housing a working collection of 80–115 bottles in a dining room or study where a dedicated cellar room isn’t feasible
- Aging Bordeaux, Napa Cabernet or Rhône reds that need consistent humidity alongside controlled temperature — not just cooling
- Fitting active storage into a tight footprint without sacrificing the look of the room
- Adding a locking, climate-controlled unit to a second home or finished basement where monitoring conditions remotely matters
Features
- CellarPro cooling unit — three variants available: Choose between the 1800QTL-ECX (2.4A running), 1800QT-ECX (2.9A running) or 1800XT-ECX (3.0A running) based on your room’s thermal load. All run on standard 115V / 60Hz and are manufactured in the USA. A thermal load calculator and cooling unit selection guide are linked in the specs section.
- Rear-vent exhaust only: The cooling unit exhausts heat through the back of the cabinet and requires 3–4 inches of rear clearance. No top clearance is needed, which makes this unit suitable for placing under shelving or in tighter alcoves.
- Adjustable humidity control with digital display: Unlike wine refrigerators that only regulate temperature, this cabinet actively manages humidity — a meaningful distinction for collections intended for multi-year aging under cork.
- Universal all-wood interlock racks with 3.8-inch slots: The 93 racked positions accommodate standard Bordeaux bottles as well as wider Burgundy and Champagne formats. An additional ~22 bottles can be stacked in the bulk storage area for a total of 115 bottles.
- Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation: A higher-performance closed-cell foam insulator compared to standard EPS foam used in lower-tier cabinets. Combined with sealed seams and double-pane tinted glass it reduces thermal gain and UV exposure.
- Audible and visual alarms alert to temperature or humidity excursions without requiring you to check the display.
- Energy-Saver and Quick-Chill operating modes plus a high-performance air filtration system are included on all CellarPro unit options.
- Security locks on all three doors with stainless bar pulls. An optional bottle probe is available for more granular internal temperature monitoring.
- Warranty split: 5 years on the cooling system and 2 years on the cabinet. An optional extended warranty is available at time of purchase.

What These Specs Mean
- Running vs. Startup Amps: Startup amperage across all three cooling unit options runs significantly higher than the running draw — plan for a dedicated 20-amp circuit to handle the compressor's peak load at ignition.
- Cooling Unit Variants (QTL, QT, XT): Three CellarPro 1800-series compressor configurations are available for this cabinet; which one is appropriate depends on your room's ambient temperature and thermal load — use the Thermal Load Calculations link to determine the correct fit before ordering.

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
Is the Le Cache Contemp Credenza #882 freestanding or can it be recessed into cabinetry like a built-in?
A: This cabinet is freestanding only. It uses a rear-vent exhaust system that requires 3–4 inches of clearance behind the unit for airflow. It cannot be fully recessed into a wall or built into cabinetry without compromising the cooling system. Plan placement accordingly — against a wall with adequate rear clearance is the correct installation.
What is the actual bottle capacity, and will it accommodate larger-format bottles like Burgundy or Rhone bottles with wider shoulders?
A: Total rated capacity is 115 bottles: 93 racked slots at 3.8-inch spacing and approximately 22 bottles in bulk stacked storage. The all-wood interlock racks are designed to universal dimensions that accommodate oversized bottles, including wider Burgundy and Pinot Noir formats. Actual count with a mixed collection of large-shouldered bottles will be closer to the lower end of the racked figure.
What are the electrical requirements, and can this run on a standard household outlet?
A: The cabinet runs on 115V AC / 60 Hz, which is a standard US household circuit. Running amperage depends on which CellarPro unit is installed: the 1800QTL-ECX draws 2.4 amps running (14.2 amps startup), the 1800QT-ECX draws 2.9 amps running (20.1 amps startup) and the 1800XT-ECX draws 3.0 amps running (20.1 amps startup). A dedicated 20-amp circuit is advisable given the high startup amp draw, particularly for the QT and XT models.
How does a Le Cache wine cabinet differ from a standard wine cooler or refrigerator for long-term aging?
A: Standard wine coolers and refrigerators control temperature but do not manage humidity, which causes corks to dry out over time and allows oxidation — making them unsuitable for long-term aging. The Le Cache #882 maintains both temperature and humidity conditions through an adjustable humidity control system paired with foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation and double-pane tinted glass for thermal and UV protection. These are the conditions required for cellaring fine Bordeaux, Burgundy, Napa Cabernet or Rhône over multi-year periods.
What does the warranty cover and for how long?
A: The cabinet carries a 2-year warranty on the entire unit and a separate 5-year warranty specifically on the CellarPro cooling system. An optional extended warranty is also available for purchase. The cooling unit being made in the USA and warranted independently for five years is meaningful for a cabinet at this price point, since the refrigeration component is typically the highest-risk part over time.
What are the external dimensions and weight — will this fit through a standard doorway and onto a wood floor without support concerns?
A: The cabinet measures 73 inches wide x 23 inches deep x 38.5 inches tall and weighs 400 lbs. At 73 inches wide it will not pass through a standard 32–36 inch doorway as a single piece — confirm your delivery path and doorway widths before ordering. At 400 lbs the floor load is manageable on standard residential construction, but verify with your contractor if placing on an upper floor or over a crawl space.
