Description[]
Château d'Barre is a more expensive, homemade version of "Syrup" (the drink, also known as "purple drank"). There is also a variation called "Huile de Beaujolais", in which Chateau d’Yquem Sauternes is replaced by Beaujolais nouveau, a red wine. This is the real:"purple drank" of the two.
