French vineyard company quoted (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cru

'french vineyard' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'company quoted' is the wordplay.
'company' becomes 'crew' (a group of people).
'quoted' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'crew' sounds like 'CRU'.

(Other definitions for cru that I've seen before include "Source of alcohol" , "French vineyard or group" , "Group of vineyards" , "Vintage, as applied to wine" , "Growth place of a French wine" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
