APOGEE200 185-bottle ageing cellar

Ageing Cellar Commitments

The APOGEE200 ageing cellar allows you to store up to 185 bottles of 75cl Bordeaux-type wine. It replicates the exact storage conditions of a natural wine cellar to safely and optimally bring your wines to their peak.

• Controlled Humidity: The humidity level in a wine cellar must be between 50% and 80%. If the humidity level is too low, the cork may dry out, allowing oxygen to come into contact with the wine. If it is too high, it can damage the appearance of your bottles by peeling off their labels and may promote mold formation. To ensure precise temperature control in your cellar, the APOGEE200 generates regular cooling cycles. Combined with the thermodynamic operation of the evaporator, these cycles help maintain an ideal humidity level inside the wine cellar.

• No Vibrations: Repeated vibrations, even of low intensity, disrupt wine maturation: they accelerate the ageing of younger wines and dislodge sediment in older wines, damaging them irreversibly. Thanks to its Silent Block technology, the APOGEE200 generates no vibrations and operates silently.

• Protection Against Light: Ultraviolet rays can, over time, give wine an unpleasant rancid taste known as “light-struck taste” and permanently alter the quality of your bottles. To showcase your bottles while protecting them effectively, the APOGEE200 has been designed with a solid door featuring a lock and a carbon-finish design.

• Filtration and Ventilation System: In a confined space, wine can absorb undesirable odors. Without proper ventilation, mold and bacteria may develop, compromising the integrity of corks and affecting the taste of your wine. It is essential to store your wines in a healthy environment. Equipped with an air intake fitted with an activated carbon filter, the APOGEE200 ensures continuous air renewal, neutralizing bad odors and preventing bacterial and mold growth.

• Constant Temperature: To prevent wine ageing from being disrupted, it must be stored in an environment with a stable and consistent temperature. The APOGEE200 ageing cellar allows you to preserve your fine wines in a healthy environment at your chosen temperature (adjustable between 5°C and 20°C).
