Le Cache Gallery 5200 Shale #36960
When a collection of 400 or more bottles outgrows a cooler or closet conversion, the Gallery 5200 is the cabinet to consider. At nearly 76 inches wide and 86 inches tall, it holds 588 bottles in a single freestanding unit — 510 in all-wood interlock racks with 3.8-inch slots wide enough for large-format bottles, plus roughly 78 in bulk stacked storage below. The Shale finish, a cool gray-green over Cherry veneer, reads as furniture in a dining room or finished basement, and tinted double-pane glass on both the doors and the sides keeps the collection visible from multiple angles without UV exposure.
What separates this cabinet from a wine refrigerator is the CellarPro cooling system and how it manages the interior environment. Temperature and humidity are both controlled with digital precision — not just temperature — which matters for long-term aging of structured reds that need cork integrity over years, not just cold storage. Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation, sealed seams and magnetic gaskets create an airtight envelope, and the top-vent exhaust with SB/0™ Technology allows the cabinet to sit flush against a wall without requiring rear clearance. For rooms where ambient temperatures exceed 75°F, the CellarPro 1800XTS is the appropriate cooling unit; the 1800QT handles cooler environments efficiently. Both options run on standard 115V AC.
Best For
- Housing a collection of 400–588 bottles that needs stable cellar conditions in a living space rather than a dedicated wine room
- Aging Bordeaux, Napa Cabernet or Rhône reds where sustained humidity control is as important as temperature
- Finished basements or dining rooms where the cabinet needs to function as furniture while still operating as serious storage
- Collectors who access their bottles frequently and want the full inventory visible and organized without unlocking a cellar
- Active humidity control, not just temperature: Unlike standard wine coolers and refrigerators that regulate temperature only, the integrated CellarPro unit manages both temperature and humidity with digital precision — critical for long-term cork integrity and aging.
- Cooling unit selection depends on room conditions: To hold 55°F in ambient temps above 75°F (up to 85°F max), the 1800XTS-ECX is required. In cooler rooms, the 1800QT-ECX is sufficient. This cabinet ships with a choice of compatible CellarPro 1800-series units; verify your room’s ambient range before ordering.
- 588-bottle total capacity with two storage modes: 510 individually racked slots at 3.8-inch spacing (fits standard and most oversized bottles) plus approximately 78 bottles of bulk stacking space — useful for case lots or larger-format bottles.
- SB/0™ zero-clearance placement: The top-vent exhaust and rear engineering allow the cabinet to sit flush against a wall with no rear gap required, which matters in finished rooms where built-in appearance and space efficiency are priorities.
- Glass on doors and sides: All three front sections and both sides use double-pane tinted glass — not just the front doors. Tinting blocks UV. The side glass panels are visible in the images and are a key differentiator for display-facing installations.
- Foil-backed polyisocyanurate insulation: A higher R-value insulating material compared to standard expanded polystyrene used in most residential wine cabinets, contributing to more stable interior temperatures and lower compressor run time.
- High Performance Air Filtration System with a serviceable top-access filter (see filter top-view documentation for replacement guidance).
- Energy-Saver and Quick-Chill operating modes, audible and visual alarms, and an optional bottle probe for core-temperature monitoring
- Warranty: 5 years on the CellarPro cooling unit, 2 years on the full cabinet; optional extended warranty available

What These Specs Mean
- Running / Startup Amps: Running amps reflect steady-state electricity draw; startup (locked-rotor) amps spike briefly when the compressor engages and determine the minimum circuit ampacity your outlet and breaker must support.
- CellarPro 1800XTS-ECX vs. 1800QT-ECX: The XTS is rated for ambient conditions up to 85°F and draws more current at startup; the QT is suited for rooms that stay below 75°F and operates at lower amperage and noise levels.

PLACEMENT REQUIREMENTS
POWER REQUIREMENT:
The power cord extends 6 1/2 feet from the rear of the cabinet. If an extension cord is used, it should be 14-gauge wire or thicker, grounded, and as short as possible.
The cooling unit plugs into a standard grounded wall outlet. We recommend adding a surge protector, rated at 15 amps or more (for example, click here), to protect the cooling unit from power surges.
The outlet must be on a dedicated circuit. The components of the cooling unit draw 3 amps, and the electric outlet on the side of the cooling unit also is rated for 3 amps. The cooling unit should not, under any circumstances, share a circuit with another motor or compressor-based appliance, like a wine cooler, fridge, air conditioner, or garage opener.
FLOOR SURFACE
Because of the significant weight of your wine cabinet, it is important that it be placed on a hard surface; otherwise, the cabinet may become skewed if the doors settle unevenly over time. If you will be placing your cabinet on thick carpeting, consider placing a carpet board underneath the wine cabinet. You can purchase a carpet board from Le Cache, or you can have your local hardware store cut a 3/4 inch plywood board to the following dimensions: 45w x 25d (inches).
DOOR SWING CLEARANCE
The doors of our wine cabinets swing wide by approximately 1 inch when open at 90 degrees. The additional width should be accounted for when purchasing cabinets that do not have moldings because the stated widths of our wine cabinets do not account for the door swing. Please note that the additional width is required in front of the cabinet.
WEIGHT LOAD FACTOR
After loading your wine cabinet with wine bottles, it will be extremely heavy. When selecting a location for your cabinet, make sure that the floor underneath is strong enough to support the weight of the cabinet.
TEMPERATURE REQUIREMENTS
CellarPro cooling units are designed to handle temperatures ranging from 50 to 95F. To maintain 55F inside the cellar, Gallery 5200 Wine Cabinets cannot be located in environments that exceed 85F.
VENTILATION REQUIREMENTS
The cooling unit generates hot air that must be exhausted in such a way that it won't be recirculated by the cooling unit. If the hot air cannot be dissipated or channeled properly, and the cooling unit is forced to recycle its own hot air, the cooling unit will be unable to maintain cold temperatures inside the wine cabinet and/or will overheat and/or will run all the time. Proper ventilation can be achieved in one of three ways:
- 1. UPRIGHT CABINETS WITH TOP-VENT CONFIGURATIONS
Our upright wine cabinets have been engineered with top-vent cooling units and SB/0 Technology so that they can be placed right up against the wall. In this configuration, the hot air generated by the cooling unit is ventilated through the top of the wine cabinet, and the return air comes from above the wine cabinet, so there must be clearance above and to the sides of the cabinets for the hot air to dissipate, as follows:- Contemporary wine cabinets, Carolina wine cabinets, Loft wine cabinets, Vault wine cabinets and a Semi-Custom wine cabinets require 18 inches of clearance above the wine cabinet.
- European Country wine cabinets and Mission wine cabinets require 12 inches of clearance above the wine cabinet.
- The sides always need to be open - in other words, placement in a corner, enclosed space, alcove, or closet will not work without our front-vent hood (see Configuration 3 below).
- 2. UPRIGHT CABINETS WITH Rear-Vent Configurations
Our upright wine cabinets can be configured so that the return air comes from behind the wine cabinet. This configuration is useful in situations where sufficient clearance around the wine cabinet doesn't exist. In this configuration:- If the rear of the wine cabinet is not accessible, a minimum clearance of 7 1/2 inches above the wine cabinet is required for removal and replacement of the cooling unit air filter.
- If the rear of the wine cabinet is accessible, a minimum clearance of 3 inches above the wine cabinet is required for proper airflow, and we recommend using our air deflector to direct the hot air exhaust to the left of the wine cabinet.
- In all cases, the wine cabinet must be placed 3-4 inches away from the rear wall.
- The sides always need to be open - in other words, placement in a corner, enclosed space, alcove, or closet will not work without our front-vent hood (see Configuration 3 below).
- 3. UPRIGHT CABINETS with Front-Vent Hoods
If you want to place the wine cabinet flush against the wall but you don't have the required clearance (as outlined in Configuration 1 above), or you want to place the wine cabinet in an enclosed space, closet, or alcove, our front-vent hood (placed on top of the wine cabinet) can be used with 7 1/2 inches of clearance above the wine cabinet for removal of the hood and the air filter. Please note:- Contemporary wine cabinets, Loft wine cabinets and Vault wine cabinets can use our front vent hood with OR without the decorative grill.
- European Country wine cabinets, Mission wine cabinets and Carolina wine cabinets can use our front vent hood without the decorative grill (the decorative grill will not fit with crown moldings).
4. CREDENZA WINE CABINETS
Credenza wine cabinets don't require any clearance above the wine cabinet; however, all credenzas require 3-4 inches of space behind the wine cabinet because all the ventilation (intake and exhaust) occurs behind the cabinet.

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.
What is the actual bottle capacity, and will it fit oversized bottles like large Burgundy or Napa Cabernet shapes?
A: The Gallery 5200 holds 588 bottles total — 510 in individual racked slots spaced at 3.8-inch centers, plus approximately 78 bottles in bulk stacked storage. The all-wood interlock racking is designed with universal sizing to accommodate oversized and non-standard bottle shapes, so large-shouldered Napa Cabernets and wider Burgundy-style bottles fit without modification.
Can the Gallery 5200 be placed flush against a wall, or does it require clearance behind the cabinet for ventilation?
A: The 5200 uses top-vent exhaust combined with Le Cache’s SB/0™ Technology, which means the cooling unit vents upward rather than out the back — the cabinet can sit flush against a wall with no rear clearance required. This makes it practical for finished dining rooms, living spaces and basement installations where you don’t want to lose depth to an air gap.
Which CellarPro cooling unit should I select, and does my room temperature affect that decision?
A: The right unit depends on the ambient temperature where the cabinet will live. To reach 55°F inside the cabinet, choose the CellarPro 1800QT-ECX (2.9 running amps) if your room stays at or below 75°F. If ambient conditions regularly exceed 75°F — up to a maximum of 85°F — step up to the CellarPro 1800XTS-ECX (3.6 running amps). The 1800XT-ECX sits between the two at 3.0 amps. All units run on a standard 115V AC / 60 Hz circuit.
Does this cabinet actively manage humidity, or just temperature?
A: Unlike wine coolers and residential refrigerators that control only temperature, the Gallery 5200 actively manages both temperature and humidity via the CellarPro cooling unit. It features Adjustable Humidity Control with a digital display, which is essential for long-term aging — maintaining correct relative humidity prevents cork desiccation and protects labels over years or decades of storage.
Is this a single-zone cabinet, and what temperature range does it support?
A: The Gallery 5200 is a single-zone cabinet maintaining one uniform temperature throughout the interior. It is designed for long-term aging storage, with the CellarPro system capable of reaching 55°F in ambient environments up to 85°F. If you need to store reds and whites at separate service temperatures simultaneously, a dual-zone unit would be a better fit — this cabinet is built for collectors aging wine, not for mixed-temperature serving.
What do the warranties cover, and how long are they?
A: The cabinet carries a 2-year warranty covering the entire unit, and the CellarPro cooling system carries a separate 5-year warranty. An optional extended warranty is also available for buyers who want longer-term coverage beyond those terms.
