Bordeaux's appealing twice about a sweet top wine (10)
'wine' is the definition.
(Beaujolais is an example)
'bordeaux's appealing twice about a sweet top' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'about' could be 'a' (abbreviation in Chambers) and 'a' is found within the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
'sweet' could be 'jo' (old-fashioned term of endearment) and 'jo' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

(Other definitions for beaujolais that I've seen before include "drink" , "French light red wine" , "Burgundy wine" , "Light red wine from south-east France" .)
'bordeaux's appealing twice about a sweet' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'top wine' is the wordplay.
'top' becomes 'super' (I've seen this before).
'wine' becomes 'altar' (altar wine is a kind of wine).
'super'+'altar'='SUPERALTAR'
