Mesnil-sur-Oger (Marne) hosted the Mondial de la capsule on Sunday, an event dedicated to round metal washers on the corks of champagne bottles.
Among the amateurs of these small objects, also called muzzle plates, we find Pierrick Henry, who has no less than 600,000, reports France 3 Grand Est.
The placomusophile had made the trip.
A community of enthusiasts
This resident of Hautvillers (Marne) is indeed so passionate about the subject that it has become his professional activity.
Le Marnais is, in fact, a reseller of muzzle plates.
He also designs for champagne houses.
The Mondial de la capsule therefore allows him to find customers or meet new ones.
The size of the capsules varies according to the capacity of the bottles of champagne.
Their value on the collectors' market can reach thousands of euros.
A muselet plate covering the cork of a Pol Roger vintage from 1923 was thus exchanged for 25,000 euros.
