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

'cleared out making space for old burgundy' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'master cellarman' is the wordplay.
'master' becomes 'ma'.
'cellarman' becomes 'con' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ma'+'con'='MACON'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for macon that I've seen before include "Dry white Burgundy wine" , "French wine district" , "Burgundian wine" , "Wandering (knight)" , "red" .)
