Le Cache is bringing a fresh new approach to the wine cabinet market. Building on 14 years of experience, Le Cache is now offering an improved product and service quality. All Le Cache wine cabinets will ship within 3-5 business days of payment. Each model has three colors to choose from. Each model is fully loaded with solid cherry wood doors and an ultra-quiet CellarPro cooling system with digital temperature and humidity control. Le Cache has also updated the design of the cabinets to feature contemporary windows, universal cherry wood racking and top ventilation for zero setback installation.
From beautiful Venetian arch windows to its double-door styling, the Model 2400 features incredible upgrades and attention to detail.
The wood used in building and finishing your wine cabinet will determine how well the cabinet ages over time, and the window design and insulation used will determine how effective the cabinet is at preserving the conditions inside your cabinet and how hard your cooling system must work to maintain those conditions. The better your cabinet is insulated and sealed, the more years of trouble-free operation your cooling system will provide. Ask if your cabinet doors are made from solid wood or laminate, find out if the windows are made from glass or plastic and ask what kind of insulation is used inside the cabinet walls.
Le Cache products are constructed from the finest wood, glass and insulation materials. Le Cache uses cherry wood in all their cabinets, with solid cherry wood doors, double-pane tinted glass windows, 1-1/2" foil-faced expanded polyisocyanurate insulation and sealed seams throughout the cabinet.
* The hinged side of each door requires 1" of additional clearance when open at 90°.
- 286 Total (256 Racked) Bottle Capacity
256 racked bottle capacity, 30 bulk bottle capacity, 3.0 cubic feet of bulk storage.
Many manufacturers offer a RANGE of bottle capacities. Unfortunately, TOTAL bottle capacity is very different from RACKED bottle capacity. Make sure to find out how many bottles will be resting on racks versus how many bottles will be resting on other bottles. The distinction is important because bottles resting on bottles can break or get scratched, or labels can smudge or tear. Bottles on bottles also are much harder to access than racked bottles.
You'll find that Le Cache breaks out their racked, bulk and total bottle capacities individually. Each racked bottle rests directly on the wood rack. The bulk storage is located at the top of the rack, where long-term storage and extra-large bottles can be carefully stacked on top of each other.
- Universal Racking (3 3/4" Opening)
Fits most individual wine bottle sizes, including Burgundy and Champagne bottles.
Many manufacturers build racks that can handle standard wine bottles, but the racks won't handle a growing number of special wine bottle sizes, such as some imported wines, Champagne bottles, etc.
Le Cache racks are built to handle almost every size of individual bottle including Champagne bottles. Whereas standard racking typically measures 3 1/4 inches wide, Le Cache racking measures 3 3/4 inches wide throughout the cabinet.
- Interlock Cherry Wood Racking
Universal bottle capacity comprised of sealed cherry wood.
Metal racks can scratch bottles and tear labels, and sometimes they can bend out of shape under the heavy weight of racked wine bottles. Try sliding a bottle in and out of a metal rack, then do the same in a wood rack. Which feels better to you?
Le Cache all-wood racking is constructed from premium cherry wood, finished and sealed, and features the tiniest attentions to detail, including eased edges, tapered ends, precision fit, hot-glue assembly and double-sealed finish.
- Premium Exterior: Cherry Wood Construction
Most manufacturers build their cabinets with oak wood, which has a strong and distinctive grain even after the "factory finish." The finish generally refers to the stain color which is applied to the wood. Make sure that you're happy with oak's grain and texture before you purchase your cabinet.
All Le Cache Classic Finish cabinets are constructed from premium cherry wood, including solid cherry wood doors. Their hand-stained Classic finish was created to highlight the beautiful grains of natural cherry wood. After staining, a clear-coat sealant is applied by hand - twice - to protect and enrich the wood finish.
- Premium Factory Finish: Classic
- Solid Door Construction of Cherry Wood
- Classic Arch Window with Double-Paned Glass and UV Tinting
- High-Performance Foil-Faced Polyisocyanurate Insulation
- Ultra-Quiet CellarPro Cooling System
Designed and built by the same people who bring you Le Cache, the ultra-quiet, vibration-free CellarPro includes upgraded components and new features, resulting in an advanced cooling system that outperforms the competition in every category. Each CellarPro cooling unit comes with an electronic thermostat and digital LED display, allowing you to precisely set the desired temperature inside your cabinet. In addition, the cooling system features automatic defrost to prevent ice build-up and adjustable humidity control that easily maintains the optimal humidity, up to 70% RH.
- CellarPro Features Powder-Coated Dark Grey Finish
Le Cache believes that wine bottles, not the cooling unit, should be featured in your cabinet. If you have glass windows on your doors and your cooling unit is painted a light color, make sure that you like what you see when the doors are closed.
Le Cache wine cabinets are sold with custom cooling units from CellarPro. Each unit is powder-coated grey so that it's "hidden" inside the cabinet when the doors are closed.
- Optional Cooling System Upgrade
The cooling system may be upgraded to the CellarPro 1800-XT, which offers extra cooling power with slightly more noise (approximately 10 dBA higher) and is designed for larger wine cabinets, warmer environments and/or commercial applications.
- SB/0 Technology and Top-Vent Exhaust- Zero Set Back from Wall
Many cooling systems require at least SIX INCHES of space between the wall and the cabinet in order for the cooling system to operate properly. Even with top-vent cooling systems, many cabinets require THREE INCHES of space between the wall and the cabinet.
Le Cache cabinets have been reengineered with SB/0 Technology so that, together with CellarPro's top-vent cooling system, the back of the cabinets can be placed right up against the wall. (You'll still need 18 inches of clearance above the cabinet!)
- Le Cache cabinets are loaded with features, including premium cherry wood, double-pane glass windows, digital display and temperature control, top-vent cooling, universal racking, factory finish, LED light and lock(s) - all at one low price! And your cabinet is ready to ship within 3-5 business days of receiving payment of your order.
- LED Interior Light and Security Locks
- Five-Year Limited Warranty
Le Cache stands behind their products, offering 5 years of coverage on the entire cooling system, including all labor and materials. If your cooling system stops functioning, Le Cache will send you a factory-refurbished replacement cooling system, and you can return your original cooling unit to them for repair AFTER you receive and replace the cooling system. That way, your wine won't go unprotected unneccesarily. Your cost is the freight to ship the the cooling system to and from the factory - Le Cache will take care of everything else.
- 2-Year Warranty on Entire Cabinet
For two years from the date of original delivery, your Le Cache warranty covers all parts and labor to repair or replace any part of the product which proves to be defective in materials or workmanship.
REAR VENT MODIFICATION
In all Le Cache upright wine cabinets, the heat generated by the CellarPro cooling unit is ventilated through the top of the wine cabinet. Consequently, there must be sufficient clearance above the cabinet for the hot air to dissipate. For Contemporary Series wine cabinets, you'll need 18 inches of clearance above the cabinet. See the table below for minimum ceiling heights. With the proper overhead clearance, the wine cabinet can be placed flush against the wall behind it.
Model |
Height (in.) |
Minimum Clearance (in.) |
Minimum Ceiling Height |
Contemporary Series | |||
1400 | 72 | 18 | 90 (7'6") |
2400 | 82 | 18 | 100 (8'4") |
3800 | 86 | 18 | 104 (8'8") |
5200 | 86 | 18 | 104 (8'8") |
If you don't have the minimum required ceiling height above your wine cabinet, Le Cache can solve the problem by modifying the cabinet before it is shipped so that the air intake will come from behind (instead of above) the wine cabinet. Please note that, under this scenario, you will no longer be able to place the cabinet flush against the wall. Instead, the wine cabinet will need 3-4 inches of clearance from the wall behind and at least 8-9 inches from the ceiling above the wine cabinet.
In all cases, the space above and to the sides of the wine cabinet must be unobstructed - i.e., the sides and front of the wine cabinet must be open. In addition, the wine cabinet must be placed in a space that is properly ventilated. The cabinet cannot be placed in an alcove, closet or built-in space unless an exhaust system is installed to evacuate the hot air generated by the cooling unit. In addition, access to the top of the wine cabinet is necessary to allow for periodic cleaning of the coils.

Impressed Joe B.I was more impressed with the wine cabinet once it got here!

Highly recommended Michael G.As the third compressor in as many years started to fail in my existing wine cabinet manufactured by someone other than Le Cache, it was time for me to begin a search for a replacement. After extensive research comparing all price points it became apparent Le Cache offered one of the best price to value relationships. In addition they were one of few who even offered an upgraded compressor. After speaking directly with Le Cache and having all of my questions answered I proceeded with the order. Even though the lead time for my model 2400 cabinet was 2-3 weeks due to high demand, Le Cache expedited my order so as not to risk damage to my existing collection. Order entry was simple and the tracking links worked perfectly and the delivery and setup went without any problems as well. In this day and age where customer service is virtually non-existent, Le Cache hit all the notes and I would highly recommend both the product and the staff to any individual in the market for a wine storage unit.

It really is beautiful Kathleen P.It was great to find a wine cabinet that we could put in the dining room and not have it look like a glorified refrigerator. It really is a beautiful conversation piece.

True beauty and elegance! Dave B. I received my wine cabinet in great condition. It is a thing of true beauty and elegance! I appreciate the detail in craftsmanship, and the thoughtful touches of the wood racking that even holds my Pinot Noir bottles without trouble. And I really enjoy the smell of the wood interior; too bad I cannot leave the doors open longer! ;-)
The unit is a bit louder than I was expecting, but my dB meter shows less than 50 dB from six feet away, 60 dB right against the wall next to the cabinet. I have the unit stocked about 80%, 50/50 wine and liter water bottles. This water thermal mass was added today, so the unit is running a bit more frequently at present, hopefully on its way to far less frequently!
Thank you for making a wonderful product! It is stunningly beautiful!
You can store up to 256 racked bottle capacity, 30 bulk bottle capacity, 3.0 cubic feet of bulk storage.
