Royal Collection
This stylish wine cooler was designed to offer you the very best in both aesthetics and performance.
Aging Mode
Autonomous operation for wine aging.
The temperature is preset and maintained at 12°C. Humidity is controlled automatically and maintained at 70% (patented Hygrocontrol system).
Royale also offers optimized air quality thanks to a patented woven filter, vibration damping, and exceptional UV protection (99%).
Service Mode
The precision of a single temperature for enjoying your wines.
The serving mode keeps your red wines, white wines, and champagnes at the ideal serving temperature.
The humidity control and regulation system then pauses, allowing you to set the temperature of your wine cellar yourself between 6 and 18°C, while maintaining the cellar’s exceptional performance.
Show off your finest bottles.
La Royale combines excellent preservation performance with high-end presentation.
Each shelf features built-in amber LED lighting that allows you to:

FAQ - Preservation Technologies Specific to the Royale Cellar.
Controlled Indoor Air Quality: Protecting Wine from Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs)
The air in a wine cellar is naturally exposed to volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These substances can come from various sources: the outside environment, certain materials found in the cellar, or elements related to the bottles, such as the adhesives used on the labels.
Since corks are not completely airtight, VOC molecules can gradually penetrate the bottle through nano-infiltration. These compounds can cause unwanted odors and disrupt the wine’s natural aging process.
To minimize their presence, EuroCave has developed a patented woven activated-carbon filter, specifically designed to purify the air inside the Royale wine cellar.
The results demonstrate exceptional effectiveness:
- 74% of VOCs are captured after 3 months of use,
- Odors and potential toxicity are reduced by half after just 72 hours,
- The air inside the wine cellar becomes cleaner than the air in the room where it is installed.
EuroCave also limits the use of materials that may emit VOCs. The aluminum interior lining prevents unwanted emissions while ensuring excellent temperature and humidity uniformity throughout the wine cellar.
Hygrocontrol System: Precise Humidity Control
The Royale wine cellar is equipped with the patented Hygrocontrol system, which automatically maintains an optimal humidity level of 70%.
This standalone humidity control system combines:
- a forced-evaporation humidification system,
- condensation-based dehumidification,
- Constant monitoring of the humidity level.
Maintaining the proper humidity level helps to:
- maintain the elasticity of the corks,
- minimize the risk of wine oxidation,
- to prevent the stoppers from drying out,
- protect labels from peeling off,
- limit mold growth.
A perfectly uniform temperature throughout the cellar
Thermal stability is essential for successful aging.
The Royale features an optimized airflow system that incorporates an additional air duct, allowing for:
- uniform temperature distribution,
- a reduction in temperature fluctuations,
- consistent aging conditions for each bottle.
The air circulating in the cellar is 100% filtered by a filter built into the ventilation system.
Maximum protection against light and UV rays.
Light—and UV rays in particular—accelerates the oxidation of wine and can gradually alter its tannins. The Royale door filters out 99% of UV rays thanks to:
- UV-protected glass,
- high-performance triple-pane glass,
- an argon gas fill to enhance insulation.
This technology protects your collection while elegantly showcasing your bottles.
Controlling Vibrations to Preserve the Wine’s Development
Vibrations can disrupt the aging process of wine by affecting certain chemical balances that are essential to its development. The Royale is designed to minimize these disruptions through:
- a design that isolates the system from external sources of vibration,
- shock-absorbing feet,
- rubber foot pads that absorb unwanted vibrations.
This mechanical stability creates a calm environment that allows the wine to age naturally.
Freestanding or built-in: How do you install this wine cooler?
This wine cellar is designed as a freestanding unit, ensuring perfectly stable storage conditions.
It can also be integrated into a custom-designed space (kitchen, pantry, tasting room), provided that the installation recommendations are strictly followed:
- air circulation,
- adequate ventilation,
- Electrical installation that complies with regulations.
Installation diagrams are available to assist with your project.
