La Sommelière | Wijnklimaatkast APOGEE150

The APOGEE150 aging cellar can store up to 147 75cl Bordeaux type bottles. It reproduces identically the storage conditions of a natural cellar to bring your wines to their peak date in complete safety and in the best conditions.

• Controlled humidity: The humidity level of a wine cellar must be between 50% and 80%. If the humidity level is too low, the bottle cork risks drying out, allowing oxygen to come into contact with the wine. If it is too high, it will damage the aesthetics of your bottles by peeling off their labels and may promote the formation of mold. To guarantee a precise temperature in your cellar, the APOGEE150 generates regular cold cycles. Coupled with the thermodynamic operation of the evaporator, they make it possible to maintain an ideal humidity level within the wine cellar.

•  Absence of vibrations: Repeated vibrations, even small ones, disturb the maturation of the wine: they accelerate the aging of the youngest wines and loosen the sediments of the oldest wines, damaging them irreversibly. Thanks to its Silent Block technology, the APOGEE150 generates no vibrations and offers silent operation.

• Protection against light: Only darkness prevents the degradation of tannins by oxidation and the premature aging of the wine. Ultraviolet rays can, in time, give wine a very unpleasant rancid taste called "taste of light" and forever alter the quality of your bottles. To enhance your bottles while protecting them effectively, the APOGEE150 has been developed with a solid door with lock and a carbon design.

• A filtration and aeration system: In a confined space, the wine can take on undesirable tastes. Without aeration, mold and bacteria can develop and alter the airtightness of the corks and the very taste of your wine. It is essential to store your wines in a healthy environment. Equipped with an air intake fitted with an active carbon filter, the APOGEE150 allows continuous air renewal, neutralizing bad odors and the proliferation of bacteria and mould.

• A constant temperature: In order not to disturb the aging of the wine, it must age in an environment offering a stable and constant temperature. The APOGEE150 aging cellar allows you to keep your great wines in a healthy environment and at the temperature of your choice (adjustable between 5°C and 20°C).

A unique rounded design

Modern and vintage at the same time, the APOGEE150 aging cellar breaks the codes by concentrating the best characteristics of both trends. Its rounded shape recalls the universe of vintage & retro, a real current trend, and combines perfectly with modern codes to perfect and distinguish your interior decoration.
