Cloud borne away in first-class style (6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cordon bleu

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'first-class style' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'cloud borne away' is the wordplay.
'away' indicates anagramming the letters.
'cloud'+'borne'='cloudborne'
'cloudborne' with letters rearranged gives 'CORDON BLEU'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
