French wine bottles right for French politician (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

macron

'french politician' is the definition.
(French president Emmanuel Macron)

'french wine bottles right' is the wordplay.
'french wine' becomes 'Macon' (type of French wine).
'bottles' indicates putting letters inside (bottle can mean to contain).
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'macon' going around 'r' is 'MACRON'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Another definition for macron that I've seen is " French president".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
