DESCRIPTION

When a collection has grown past a single cabinet and needs genuine separation between long-term cellaring and a ready-to-serve zone, the Transtherm Double Ermitage is the answer. Two full-height Ermitage units stand side-by-side as one integrated piece, each with its own independent temperature zone ranging from 43 to 64°F — so you can keep your Bordeaux and Burgundy at cellar temps on one side while a Chardonnay or Rhône blanc chills to serving temperature on the other. Made in France by Eurocave, it holds up to 364 bottles across 28 fully adjustable rolling shelves with low-profile grooves that accommodate standard Bordeaux bottles and larger-format Burgundy shapes without reconfiguring anything.

What separates this cabinet from most freestanding coolers is its thermal pump and integrated heating element, a combination that lets it operate reliably in environments as cold as 32°F or as warm as 95°F. That means an unconditioned garage, a basement that drops in winter or a second-home storage room are all viable placements. Temperature variation inside is held to a maximum of 2‑3°F. Vibration isolation through slow, balanced compressors — physically disassociated from the cabinet body — keeps sediment undisturbed in older bottles. At 37 dBA, it runs quietly enough to live in a dining room or open living space without calling attention to itself.

Best For

• Cellaring 200–300 bottles of age-worthy reds on one side while keeping whites and rosés at serving temperature on the other
• Placing a serious collection in a basement, garage or second home where ambient temperatures swing well outside a typical conditioned room
• Collectors adding mixed-format bottles — Burgundy, magnum and Bordeaux shapes — who need shelves that adjust without a shelf swap
• Finishing a dedicated storage space where a freestanding unit needs to look considered rather than utilitar
• Two fully independent temperature zones: Each cabinet half runs its own compressor and thermostat, so you can hold one side at cellaring temperature (43–64°F) and the other at a warmer serving temp simultaneously — without any thermal crosstalk between zones.
• Temperature stability within 2–3°F: The electronic regulation system holds internal variance to that narrow band regardless of ambient fluctuations — meaningful for long-term Bordeaux and Burgundy cellaring where consistency matters more than the setpoint itself.
• Integrated heating element: Unlike cooling-only cabinets, this unit actively heats as well as cools, rated for ambient environments from 32 to 95°F. Suitable for uninsulated basements, garages or unconditioned cellar rooms without a secondary HVAC requirement.
• Thermal pump humidity management (Transtherm exclusive): Recycles condensation back into the cabinet to maintain 55%–80% RH. You can also add water manually to raise humidity — useful in dry climates where cork desiccation is a real concern.
• Compressor vibration isolation: Slow, balanced compressors are mechanically decoupled from the cabinet body, reducing transmitted vibration to the bottles. Relevant for long-aging wines where sediment disturbance matters.
• Aluminum interior lining: Upgraded from thermoformed polystyrene, the aluminum interior is more durable and easier to wipe down. Each rolling shelf slides on low-profile grooves sized to accommodate standard Bordeaux, Burgundy and Champagne formats without modification.
• Silent operation rated at 37 dBA — comparable to a quiet library and suitable for open living or dining spaces
• Alarm suite covers open door, temperature deviation, humidity deviation and sensor fault — all visible on the front-panel digital display for each zone independently
