Le Cache Euro 5200 Chocolate #753
Details
When a collection has grown beyond what a cooler or closet conversion can reliably protect, the Euro 5200 in Chocolate Cherry is the kind of cabinet that answers the brief completely. It holds 622 bottles — 544 in racked double-deep slots and another 78 in bulk — while maintaining the temperature and humidity conditions that long-term aging actually requires. Designed by Pinnacle Award-winning designer Martin de Blois, the European Country Series draws from the architecture of fine European furnishings: crown and base moldings, paneled sides, hardwood French doors with hand-carved accents, and hand-turned pewter pulls with security locks. The Chocolate Cherry finish gives the piece a depth and warmth that holds its own in a serious room.
The refrigeration is handled by a CellarPro cooling unit — made in the USA — with an electronic thermostat, digital display and adjustable humidity control. That last point matters: most wine coolers and refrigerators manage temperature only, leaving humidity uncontrolled and putting corks at risk over time. The Euro 5200 addresses both. Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation and double-pane tinted glass handle the thermal and UV side. Le Cache’s SB/0™ technology allows the cabinet to sit flush against a wall without a clearance gap, which makes placement in a dining room, library or finished basement straightforward. The top-vent exhaust and high-performance air filtration system keep the interior clean and the ambient noise low. All-wood interlock racks accommodate oversized bottles without modification.
Best For
- Storing a Bordeaux-heavy collection of 400+ bottles that has outgrown a single-zone cooler and needs reliable humidity control for decade-plus aging
- Placing a large-format storage piece in a dining room or living space where the cabinet needs to read as furniture, not appliance
- Outfitting a second home or remodeled basement where a freestanding, self-contained unit is more practical than a built-in cellar
- Collectors acquiring futures or mixed cases who need both dedicated racked slots and flexible bulk space in one cabinet
Features
- SB/0™ Technology (top-vent exhaust): The cooling unit exhausts heat through the top of the cabinet rather than the rear, so it can sit flush against a wall with no rear clearance required. This directly affects where you can place a 79"-wide, 550 lb cabinet in a finished room.
- Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation: A closed-cell rigid foam with a higher R-value per inch than standard fiberglass, combined with a foil vapor barrier. This helps maintain stable internal humidity as well as temperature — relevant if the cabinet is in a climate-controlled room that still sees seasonal swings.
- Adjustable humidity control: Actively manages interior humidity, not just temperature. This is the functional difference between this cabinet and a wine cooler or refrigerator, which cool air but don’t regulate moisture and will dry out corks over time.
- CellarPro cooling unit (USA-made), three variants available: The 1800QTL-ECX, 1800QT-ECX and 1800XT-ECX all run on standard 115V / 60Hz. Running amp draw ranges from 2.4 to 3.0A depending on the model; startup draw ranges from 14.2 to 20.1A. Choose the unit based on the thermal load of your specific room using Le Cache’s published Thermal Load Calculations.
- Double-deep all-wood interlock racking with 3.8" slots: 544 racked bottle slots sized to fit oversized Burgundy and Champagne formats, plus approximately 78 bottles of bulk space. Total rated capacity is 622 bottles.
- Electronic thermostat with digital display, Energy-Saver mode and Quick-Chill mode, plus audible and visual alarms if temperature drifts out of range
- Double-pane tinted glass provides UV filtering without blocking the view of the collection; security locks on both doors
- Warranty coverage: 5 years on the CellarPro cooling system, 2 years on the cabinet; an optional extended warranty is also available.
Pairs Well With
- The optional bottle probe accessory — it measures actual bottle temperature rather than cabinet air temperature, which is more accurate for tracking aging conditions over time

What These Specs Mean
- Running vs. Startup Amps: The startup amp figure reflects the brief power surge when the compressor kicks on; your dedicated circuit must be rated to handle that peak draw, not just the lower running draw.
- CellarPro model variants (QTL / QT / XT): Each designates a different compressor configuration affecting noise level and cooling capacity — the QTL draws the least power at startup and runs quietest, while the XT handles higher ambient temperatures; use the Thermal Load Calculations link to match the right unit to your room conditions.

BOTTLE CAPACITY
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.

You guys have been a pleasure to work with! I cannot wait to get the cabinet up and running. If you’re in the Scottsdale area, you should come over and enjoy a bottle of wine with us!
Stunning and works as promised

I waited six months to write this review. I wanted to see how it would perform during the summer months and if any problems would surface as we filled it.
This is undoubtedly the most talked about piece of furniture I have ever purchased. It combines a serious presence in the room, beautiful craftsmanship, and superb functionality. I love that normal 750ML bottles can go two per rack space and that the spaces are large enough for oversize bottles. The depth will not allow two tall bottles but we have found most producers do not use tall bottles with the exception of some whites so this has not been an issue.
The noise level is fine for our open floor plan. I originally considered buying the noise hood but decided to wait until the unit was in place to see if it was required. The 1800 QT does operate at a very reasonable sound level.
Bottom line - I love this unit and would purchase it again.

Bought it and love it! Holds 52 cases of wine and told my wife(as this is my 25th anniversary present to her) we will have to travel the world to purchase wines to fill our gorgeous wine cellar!
Thank you!
LeCache...buy the extended warranty and you'll be happy

So I purchased this unit in 2013 and as previous reviewers have stated, it is beautiful. With that said, I encourage you to buy the upgrade to the warranty. Two years in and the cooling unit quit working. We followed all instructions with regard to storage of the wine, filter changes, space requirements, and even put a fan and air purifier next to the unit. To their credit, someone did come and replace the cooling unit and I only incurred the $49 charge, but it took a bit of work on my part. Last year I noticed one of the wooden racks had completely cracked, and we are not storing an inordinate amount of bottles in the "bulk" storage area. That too was replaced with the $49 charge (plus tip of course) and now I can see the wood on both sides "bowing" in the same area and wonder if it will crack again. If it does, I hope it is still within the warranty period. A shame that these defects become big problems in such a beautiful and expensive cabinet.
Euro 5200 - Elegant and Functional

We bought this unit in 2013 to display a portion of our wine collection in the living room. We have about 500 bottles in it and have been extremely happy with the purchase. It is a beautiful piece of furniture and a conversation piece when company is around. Our CellarPro cooler just started having problems after 3.5 years and the technical support team was very prompt in responding and shipping out a replacement unit. We have some minor concerns about the finish cracking in some areas but we live in Arizona which is a dry climate. Overall very happy and would buy another unit.
