Details

The Euro Credenza is the cabinet for a collector whose wine has outgrown the closet but whose dining room still matters. Designed by Pinnacle Award-winning designer Martin de Blois, it draws on European furniture traditions with hardwood French doors, crown and base moldings, hand-carved wood trim and hand-turned pewter pulls set against a deep Chocolate Cherry finish. The CellarPro cooling system inside manages both temperature and humidity actively, which is what separates a proper aging cabinet from a household refrigerator and makes this one worth the investment for anyone holding structured reds for the long term.

Best For

  • Integrating a serious collection into a dining room or living space without the cabinet reading as an appliance
  • Long-term aging of tannic Bordeaux, Napa Cabernet or Rhône reds that require stable humidity alongside precise temperature
  • A collection in the 100–150 bottle range that needs organized racked access for active bottles and bulk overflow space for incoming cases
  • A dining room or great room remodel where the wine storage needs to function as a sideboard and hold its own next to high-end millwork

Features

  • Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation: This closed-cell foam insulation has a significantly higher R-value per inch than standard fiberglass, reducing thermal load on the cooling unit and helping maintain stable internal temperatures even in warmer rooms.
  • Adjustable humidity control: Unlike wine coolers and refrigerators, this cabinet actively manages humidity — critical for preventing cork desiccation during long-term aging. The system is adjustable, not just a passive tray.
  • Three CellarPro 1800-series cooling unit options: The cabinet ships with a choice of the 1800QTL-ECX (2.4A running), 1800QT-ECX (2.9A running) or 1800XT-ECX (3.0A running), all at 115V/60Hz. All three are rear-vent units requiring 3–4 inches of clearance behind the cabinet — plan placement accordingly.
  • Energy-Saver and Quick-Chill modes: Energy-Saver reduces compressor cycling during stable ambient conditions; Quick-Chill accelerates temperature recovery after the doors have been open or after initial loading.
  • Double-deep all-wood interlock racking: 150 racked slots at 3.8-inch spacing accommodate oversized Burgundy and Champagne bottles, plus approximately 24 bottles of bulk stacking space. The interlock design keeps racks from shifting without hardware.
  • Audible and visual alarms with optional bottle probe: Onboard alarms trigger on temperature excursions. The optional bottle probe monitors actual wine temperature rather than air temperature — a meaningful distinction for long-term aging records.
  • High-Performance Air Filtration System to reduce mold and off-odor contamination inside the cabinet.
  • Hand-turned pewter pulls with individual security locks on each door
  • 5-year warranty on the CellarPro cooling unit; 2-year warranty on the cabinet; optional extended warranty available

What These Specs Mean

  • Running / Startup Amps: Startup amps reflect the brief current surge when the compressor first engages -- your dedicated circuit must be rated to handle this peak draw without tripping, not just the lower running draw.
  • QTL / QT / XT Cooling Unit Options: These are three selectable CellarPro 1800-series units that differ in compressor type, noise output and energy draw -- the QTL is the quietest and most efficient option, which matters for open living spaces.

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 Euro Credenza a built-in unit or does it need to be freestanding?

A: The Euro Credenza is a freestanding unit only. It uses a rear-vent exhaust system that requires 3–4 inches of clearance behind the cabinet to allow heat to escape. It cannot be recessed into cabinetry or installed under a counter without obstructing that exhaust — doing so will cause the cooling unit to overheat and underperform. Plan for it to sit against a wall with that gap maintained.

What are the true bottle capacity numbers, and will it fit large-format or oversized bottles?

A: Total capacity is 174 bottles: 150 racked slots at 3.8-inch spacing in a double-deep configuration, plus approximately 24 bottles in bulk (stacked) storage. The all-wood interlock racking uses a universal design that accommodates oversized bottles — heavier Burgundy-shaped bottles, Champagne and larger Napa Cabernet formats all fit without modification. If your collection skews toward wider bottles, factor that into your count since you’ll fill the 3.8-inch slots before hitting 150.

Which CellarPro cooling unit should I select — the QTL, QT or XT?

A: All three options run on 115V AC / 60 Hz and are made in the USA. The key differences are in startup amp draw and thermal load capacity. The 1800QTL-ECX has the lowest startup draw at 14.2 amps, making it the easiest on your electrical circuit. The 1800QT-ECX and 1800XT-ECX both start at 20.1 amps, with the XT offering higher thermal load capacity for warmer ambient environments. Le Cache provides a Thermal Load Calculations guide and a Cooling Unit Selection Guide to match the right unit to your room’s conditions — if the cabinet will be in a warm room or against an exterior wall with heat exposure, the XT is the appropriate choice.

Does this cabinet manage humidity as well as temperature, and how is that different from a wine cooler?

A: Yes — the Euro Credenza provides both temperature and adjustable humidity control via the CellarPro cooling unit and electronic thermostat. Standard wine coolers and refrigerators control temperature only; they actively dry the air, which dries out corks over time and compromises wines stored for more than a year or two. Le Cache cabinets are engineered for long-term aging, maintaining the humidity range that keeps corks intact and prevents premature oxidation. The foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation and double-pane tinted glass also provide thermal stability and UV protection that a cooler cannot.

What does the warranty cover and for how long?

A: The warranty is split into two tiers: 2 years on the entire cabinet (woodwork, hardware, seals) and 5 years on the CellarPro cooling unit. An optional extended warranty is also available for purchase. Given that the cooling unit is the highest-wear component, the 5-year coverage on it is the more consequential protection for long-term ownership.

What are the exact dimensions and weight, and will it fit through a standard doorway?

A: The Euro Credenza measures 71 inches wide x 31.5 inches deep x 40 inches tall and weighs 350 lbs. At 71 inches wide, it will not pass through a standard 32- or 36-inch doorway in its assembled form — delivery logistics and room access need to be confirmed before ordering. Le Cache offers inside delivery; verify that the cabinet’s path from the entry point to its final placement is clear of tight turns and narrow passages.

Serving your wine at the correct temperature is as important as decanting. There cabinets allow you to do this in a stylish fashion that will match your existing decor.
