French cat gets water in vineyard (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chateau

'vineyard' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'french cat gets water' is the wordplay.
'french cat' becomes 'chat' ('cat' in French).
'gets' says to put letters next to each other.
'water' becomes 'eau' (I have seen 'French water ' mean 'eau' so perhaps 'water' could also mean 'eau').
'chat'+'eau'='CHATEAU'

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for chateau that I've seen before include "Impressive French building" , "Impressive dwelling in France" , "Loire Valley attraction" , "A grand French Mansion" , "French county house" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
