Le Cache Euro 3800 Provincial #751
Details
When a collection has grown past the point where a cooler or closet conversion can manage it, the Euro 3800 Provincial is the kind of cabinet that resolves the problem for the long term. Designed by Pinnacle Award-winning designer Martin de Blois, it holds 458 bottles across double-deep all-wood racks and a bulk storage section, while the CellarPro cooling system maintains both temperature and humidity, the two conditions that actually matter for aging wine over years rather than just keeping it cold.
The European Country aesthetic is the other reason collectors choose this over a utilitarian unit. Crown and base moldings, hand-carved wood trim, hardwood French doors with double-pane tinted glass and hand-turned pewter pulls give it the presence of a serious piece of furniture. The Provincial Cherry finish reads warm without being heavy. SB/0™ Technology allows the cabinet to sit flush against the wall, and the top-vent exhaust means placement in a dining room, living space or finished basement doesn’t require special clearance planning.
Best For
- Transitioning a collection of 300–500 bottles out of a closet or wine cooler into a climate-controlled environment where humidity is actively managed for long-term aging
- Fitting a large-capacity storage solution into a dining room or finished living space where it needs to read as furniture, not appliance
- Storing a mixed collection that includes oversized bottles, magnums or Bordeaux formats alongside standard 750ml without dedicating a separate unit to each
- Collections built around wines that need a decade or more to develop and require stable temperature and humidity rather than simple refrigeration
Features
- 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.
- SB/0™ Technology: The top-vent exhaust design allows the cabinet to sit flush against a wall with zero rear clearance required - a practical advantage for dining rooms or finished basements where floor space and wall placement matter.
- Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation: Higher R-value per inch than standard foam, reducing thermal load on the cooling unit and improving long-term temperature stability.
- Adjustable Humidity Control with audible and visual alarms: Active humidity management - not passive - maintains cork integrity for long-term aging. Alarms trigger if temperature or humidity drift outside set parameters.
- 458-bottle capacity with double-deep, universal all-wood racking: 408 slots at 3 3/4-inch spacing accommodate oversized Burgundy and Champagne bottles. The remaining ~50 bottles store in bulk space. All-wood interlock construction avoids the vibration transfer associated with metal rack systems.
- High Performance Air Filtration System: Circulates filtered air throughout the interior to prevent off-odor contamination - relevant if the cabinet is placed near a kitchen or living area.
- Double-pane tinted glass on hardwood French doors blocks UV while keeping the collection visible
- Hand-turned pewter pulls with integrated security locks on both doors
- Low-heat interior LED lighting and optional bottle probe for internal temperature spot-checking
- 2-year warranty on the cabinet; optional extended warranty available

Placement
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
| Configuration | Minimum Clearance Behind | Minimum Clearance Above | Open Sides Required? | Suitable for Alcove? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Upright Cabinet / Top-Vented | — | 12 inches or 18 inches | Yes | No |
| Upright Cabinet / Rear-Vented | 3–4 inches | 3 inches or 7 1/2 inches | Yes | No |
| Upright Cabinet / Top-Vented + Front-Vent Hood | — | 7 1/2 inches | No | Yes |
| Credenza | 3–4 inches | None required | Yes | No |
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.

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 Le Cache Euro 3800 be placed flush against a wall, or does it need clearance behind the cabinet?
A: The Euro 3800 uses Le Cache’s SB/0™ Technology, which allows the cabinet to sit flush against the wall with zero rear clearance required. Heat is exhausted through a top-vent system, so you only need to ensure the top is unobstructed. This makes it well suited for dining rooms, finished basements or any space where a traditional rear-exhaust unit wouldn’t fit.
What are the real-world bottle counts, and will it fit large-format or heavy Bordeaux bottles?
A: The cabinet holds 458 bottles total — 408 in racked slots (each slot is 3.8 inches wide to accommodate heavier Burgundy and Bordeaux bottles) and roughly 50 bottles in bulk stacking space. The all-wood interlock racks use a universal design specifically sized to accept oversized bottles, so Burgundy pinots and heavier Napa Cabernets store without forcing. The storage is configured double-deep, which maximizes density but means you’ll want a labeling or bin system to track what’s behind the front row.
Does this cabinet actively manage humidity, or does it just cool?
A: This is a key distinction from standard wine coolers. The Euro 3800 includes an Adjustable Humidity Control system that actively manages moisture levels inside the cabinet — critical for long-term cork integrity and aging. Standard refrigerators and most wine coolers only manage temperature and will dry out corks over time. The combination of foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation and double-pane tinted glass also provides thermal and UV protection that a converted closet or kitchen cooler cannot replicate.
What are the electrical requirements, and will it run on a standard household circuit?
A: The cabinet runs on 115V AC / 60 Hz, which is standard household current. The CellarPro 1800 series cooling units draw between 2.4 and 3.0 running amps depending on which unit is installed (QTL, QT or XT variants), making ongoing operating costs modest. Startup amps are higher — up to 20.1 amps for the QT and XT models — so a dedicated 20-amp circuit is recommended to avoid nuisance tripping, especially if other appliances share the same breaker.
How quiet is the cooling system, and is this cabinet suitable for a living room or dining room setting?
A: The Euro 3800 ships with a CellarPro 1800-series cooling unit, which Le Cache describes as the most advanced and quietest unit they offer. The QTL (Quiet) variant runs at 2.4 amps and is the lowest-noise option of the three available configurations. For a dining room or open living space where ambient noise matters, the QTL is the recommended choice. The top-vent exhaust also keeps fan noise directed upward rather than outward into the room.
What does the warranty actually cover, and for how long?
A: The warranty has two separate terms: 2 years on the entire cabinet (woodwork, hardware, seals and interior components) and 5 years on the CellarPro cooling system. An optional extended warranty is available for purchase beyond those terms. The cooling unit is made in the USA by CellarPro, and because it is a self-contained unit mounted at the top of the cabinet, it can be serviced or replaced without replacing the entire cabinet — an important long-term ownership consideration for a unit priced at $8,245.

A beautiful piece of furniture as well as wine storage
TCWine - | 10/2/2024 8:07 pm
Wow! This is an utterly gorgeous piece. The wood detailing is top notch and finish is elegant and refined. The 3800 model is the middle size--still plenty big for a large collection, but not overwhelming in a modest sized room. Pro tip: make sure to buy a surge protector BEFORE moving it into place, because you're not going to want to move it again to plug it in.
Superior cabinets, I have 2

I first ordered a 1400 series back in 2009. This cabinet worked perfectly, looked fantastic and the customer service was 100%. After several years our collection of wine grew and I needed to expand. In 2014 I ordered the 3800 series to place in a different room in the house. Again, a great cabinet that fit the need! After a year my cooler went out so I called customer service. They shipped out a new cooler, talked me though the installation and provided a return label for the old cooler. This is how customer service should work. If you are thinking about a Le Cache wine cabinet you can stop.... just order it you will not be disappointed in any way!
Absolutely Beautiful!

I spent six months researching wine cabinets before I ordered the Le Cache Euro 3800. I'm delighted by the style and quality of the cabinetry. It is absolutely beautiful. I'm also very pleased by the CellarPro cooling systems' temperature and humidity control performance. My patience paid off and I made the right choice!
More gorgeous than I imagined
