Chèvre Salée
Salted goat is a traditional dish of the Haut-Jura, served in winter, from October 15 to March 15. It used to be the staple country food of the past centuries but it is seeing a come back. The number of "Salt Goat Night" events is increasing in the city of Saint Claude, restaurants have it on their menu or it can be cooked at home. Its pink color meat is prepared as a "pot-au-feu" served with boiled potatoes.

Chèvre Salée and Wine
Salted goat goes perfectly with a light red wine. In the Jura, prefer Trousseau, which will bring a bit of character to cope with the pronounced taste of the goat. Otherwise, a Beaujolais Village or red Loire will also do the trick
