What Is the Purpose of a Service Wine Cellar?
La Sommelière service wine cellars are essential equipment for wine connoisseurs and enthusiasts who want to keep their precious bottles in optimum conditions before tasting. Designed to bring and maintain wines at their ideal serving temperature, these cellars offer a unique experience, allowing each grape variety to be savoured in its best conditions. La Sommelière cellars are distinguished by their ability to flexibly adjust temperature zones to suit different types of wine, whether red, white or rosé.
These cellars are ideal for short-term storage, perfectly meeting the needs of those who do not require long-term cellaring but nevertheless wish to serve their wines in near-professional conditions.
Enjoy your wines at the right temperature

The temperature at which wines are enjoyed is crucial to fully appreciating their aromas and flavours. Here is a general guide to ideal temperatures for different types of wine:
Full-bodied red wines: 16-18°C. A slightly higher temperature helps release the complex aromas and tannins of these wines.
Light red wines: 12-16°C. These wines are best enjoyed slightly chilled, allowing their freshness and fruitiness to shine through.
Dry White Wines: 8-12°C. This freshness accentuates the acidity and fruity flavours of white wines.
Rosé wines: 8-11°C. Serve chilled to appreciate their light, fruity character.
Sweet wines (such as dessert wines): 6-8°C, to balance their natural sweetness.
Sparkling wines (such as Champagne): 6-8°C, to maintain their fine bubbles and freshness.

These cellars ensure precise, constant temperature regulation. This fine temperature management means that each wine can be served under optimum conditions. Adjustable from 5 to 20°C, depending on the model, they allow several types of wine to be brought to temperature and can be adapted to your collection.
Les vibrations peuvent perturber le dépôt naturel dans les bouteilles et affecter le goût du vin. Les caves La Sommelière sont conçues avec un système anti-vibrations permettant de minimiser leur impact sur le vin.
Light, particularly UV rays, can degrade the quality of wine. La Sommelière service wine cellars are equipped with protective doors and lighting systems designed to protect the wine from harmful exposure to light.
Choose a single, double or triple zone depending on your needs, so you can separate the different types of bottles if necessary and ensure the perfect temperature for tasting your wines.

How do you choose your wine cellar? What are the selection criteria?
Choosing the right wine cellar for your needs involves taking a number of important criteria into account:
Determining Bottle Capacity:
Select your storage capacity according to your current and future collection. Remember to anticipate your future purchases so that you can bring all your wines up to tasting temperature. The capacity indicated on our products is calculated according to the European standard using standard Bordeaux 75cl bottles.
Opt for a single or multi-zone configuration depending on your consumption habits, allowing you to store different types of wine for short-term tasting.
You'll find a choice of racks, suitable for various bottle formats (Bordeaux, Champagne, Champenoise, Burgundy...), fixed or sliding, and fitted with labels. Choose from our range of accessories and showcase your bottles with presentation racks, head-to-tail racks or label view racks. These accessories are available in different materials such as wood or steel.
Choose the Location of your choice:
Some of our wine cellars are equipped with a winter system, giving you the flexibility to install your cellar in an unheated room. This allows you to optimise the space in your home while ensuring an ideal environment for your wines.
According to your preferences, choose between a free-standing or flush-mounted installation for harmonious integration.
Designed to be discreet, our serving wine cellars offer low noise levels, ideal for living spaces.
