| Cadre Noir Cadre Noir (pronounced kah-drey-nwar) is an importer of artisanal French liqueurs, crèmes and spirits. Led by 3 brothers, Ryan, Curt and Scott Goldman, the company’s roots date back to 2002, when after a successful collegiate hockey career that included two NCAA national championships at Middlebury College, youngest brother Scott left the Green Mountains of Vermont with a hockey bag, a stick, a one-way plane ticket to Paris and a dream to play professional hockey in France. Two months and three training camps later, his dream became reality when he signed a one-year contract in the historic city of Tours in the heart of the garden of France – the Loire Valley. Not long after his arrival, Goldman was entranced by the spectacular farms, vineyards and distilleries that make the Loire Valley world famous and almost instantly settled on one property on the banks of the Loire that stood out from the rest – La maison de Combier.
