Le Cache Euro 2400 Chocolate #747
Details
When a collection has grown past a few cases and into serious aging territory, the storage question stops being about convenience and starts being about conditions. The Euro 2400 in Chocolate Cherry holds 286 bottles under active temperature and humidity control — the kind of environment a wine cooler or converted closet simply cannot replicate — and it does it inside a piece of furniture designed by Pinnacle Award-winning designer Martin de Blois that belongs in a dining room or library, not a utility space. The deep chocolate finish, hand-carved crown molding and hardwood French doors with double-pane tinted glass read as a serious piece of cabinetry before anyone opens it.
The CellarPro cooling unit manages both temperature and humidity digitally, with adjustable humidity control, Energy-Saver and Quick-Chill modes, and audible and visual alarms — the kind of active management that long-term aging of Bordeaux or Burgundy actually requires. SB/0™ technology allows the unit to sit flush against the wall with top-vent exhaust, so placement isn’t constrained to open-air locations. Inside, all-wood interlock racks with 3.8-inch slots accommodate 256 bottles in racked storage, and the universal spacing handles oversized formats. The remaining bulk space stacks approximately 30 additional bottles.
Best For
- A collection of 200–286 bottles that has outgrown a cooler and needs proper humidity management for long-term aging
- Placing a full-size wine cabinet in a finished living space where appearance matters as much as function
- Storing large-format bottles or non-standard sizes alongside a standard collection
- A dining room or study where noise level and wall-placement flexibility are real constraints
Features
- SB/0™ flush-wall placement: Heat exhausts through the top of the cabinet rather than the rear, so no rear clearance is needed. The unit can sit directly against a wall or inside a built-in nook — a practical consideration for dining room or finished-basement installations where wall clearance is limited.
- Three CellarPro cooling unit options (QTL / QT / XT): All run on 115V / 60 Hz. The QTL draws 2.4A running (14.2A startup) and is the quietest of the three — the relevant choice if the cabinet will be in a living space. The QT and XT draw 2.9A and 3.0A respectively with higher startup amps. A thermal load calculator is available to match the unit to your room conditions.
- Adjustable active humidity control: Humidity is actively managed and adjustable, not simply a passive byproduct of the cooling cycle. A published performance chart shows actual humidity output ranges at different settings.
- Rack configuration: 256 racked slots sized at 3.8-inch width accommodate most large-format bottles including Burgundy and Champagne. An additional ~30 bottles fit in the bulk stacking zone at the bottom. All-wood interlocking racks are included.
- Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation: Higher R-value per inch than standard expanded polystyrene foam, which matters for maintaining stable internal temperatures in rooms with variable ambient conditions.
- Energy-Saver and Quick-Chill operating modes, with both audible and visual alarms for temperature excursions
- High-performance air filtration system with top-view filter access (see filter diagram linked in specs)
- Optional bottle probe: Measures temperature at the bottle itself rather than ambient cabinet air — more accurate for confirming actual storage conditions during long-term aging.
- Warranty split: 5 years on the CellarPro cooling unit; 2 years on the cabinet. An extended warranty is available separately and covers both components beyond the standard terms.
Pairs Well With
- The optional bottle probe — adds direct bottle-level temperature monitoring rather than relying solely on ambient cabinet readings, which can differ meaningfully from the temperature at the bottle during a cooling cycle.

Thermal Load Calculations
Warranty:
2 Years (Cabinet) / 5 Years (Cooling Unit)
Optional Extended Warranty
What These Specs Mean
- Running vs. Startup Amps: The startup (inrush) current when the compressor first engages is 5–7x higher than the steady running draw — the dedicated circuit must be rated to handle the startup peak, not just the continuous load.
- Cooling Unit Options (QTL / QT / XT): Each model represents a different cooling capacity; the right choice depends on ambient room temperature and the thermal conditions of the installation space — use the Thermal Load Calculations guide to match the unit to the environment.

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
Can the Euro 2400 be placed flush against a wall, or does it require clearance space around it?
A: Yes — the Euro 2400 uses Le Cache’s SB/0™ Technology, which routes exhaust through a top vent rather than out the back or sides. That means the cabinet can sit directly against a wall with zero rear clearance. It is a freestanding unit, not built-in, but the top-vent design makes it practical for dining rooms, finished basements and tight alcoves without sacrificing airflow to the cooling unit.
What is the true bottle capacity, and will it accommodate oversized Bordeaux or Burgundy bottles?
A: Total capacity is 286 bottles: 256 in racked slots and approximately 30 in bulk stacking space. The racked slots are 3.8 inches wide, and the all-wood interlock system uses universal racking specifically designed to accommodate oversized bottles — heavier Burgundy-format bottles, large-format Champagne and thick-shouldered Bordeaux all fit without modification.
How does this cabinet manage humidity, and why does that matter for long-term aging?
A: The Euro 2400 includes an adjustable humidity control system driven by the CellarPro cooling unit, backed by foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation and sealed seams that maintain interior conditions. Standard wine coolers and refrigerators cycle humidity out during normal operation, which dries corks and accelerates oxidation over time. This cabinet is engineered to hold the humidity range wines need for long-term cellaring — not just short-term chilling.
What are the electrical requirements, and which cooling unit configuration should I choose?
A: The cabinet runs on 115V AC / 60 Hz — a standard household circuit. Three CellarPro cooling units are available: the 1800QTL-ECX draws 2.4 running amps (14.2 startup), the 1800QT-ECX draws 2.9 running amps (20.1 startup) and the 1800XT-ECX draws 3.0 running amps (20.1 startup). The right choice depends on the ambient temperature and insulation load of the room where the cabinet will live — Le Cache provides thermal load calculation tools to match the unit to your environment.
How quiet is the Euro 2400, and is it suitable for a living space or dining room?
A: The Euro 2400 ships with CellarPro cooling units specifically selected as the most advanced and quietest available for this cabinet format. The unit also includes an Energy-Saver mode that reduces compressor cycling during stable ambient conditions, further lowering operating sound. Exact decibel output varies by which CellarPro model is selected — Le Cache publishes detailed sound performance data for each unit so you can compare before purchasing.
What does the warranty cover, and is extended coverage available?
A: The Euro 2400 carries a 2-year warranty on the entire cabinet and a separate 5-year warranty on the CellarPro cooling unit. An optional extended warranty is available for buyers who want coverage beyond those terms. These are two distinct warranty pools, so a cooling unit issue in year four is still covered under the cooling warranty even after the cabinet warranty has expired.

The cabinet looks great and works wonderfully
MariaElena H.| 4/14/2009 12:00:00 am
We received the wine cabinet and are enjoying it very much. The installers did a great job of putting it together, and wow, were they fast. They did bring to our attention that their was some scratches/dents in the rear of the cabinet from the shipping process. We looked at them before installation, and felt they were not a big deal.
The cabinet looks great and works wonderfully.
We congratulate your company on a great product.
Many thanks.
Really Exceeded Our Expectations

The cabinet arrived safe and sound just before Christmas. Setup was easy and the delivery co. did a good job. I have had it operating for the last 2 weeks and it is working perfectly. Since the cabinet was a 2nd....it really exceeded our expectations. The finish and workmanship is exceptional.
Euro 2400 Chocolate Cherry Review

I was tired of bending down into the 2 cheap mini wine captains that hold about 30 bottles each and saw this model at a B&B in Healdsburg, CA and fell in love. Now instead of worrying about which wine to leave out of the cooler, I'm looking to see what deals I can get to fill this unit up. It's a very nice compliment to our existing furniture. So much that it is like a nice piece of furniture. Ben and the guys at La Cache rock! I have recommended to all my wine-o friends as well.
