Nice spot with such heart, razed to ground (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cote dazur

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

'nice spot' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'such heart razed to ground' is the wordplay.
'heart' says to take the centre.
'ground' is an anagram indicator ('grind' the letters into a new form).
The middle of 'such' is 'uc'.
'uc'+'razed'+'to'='ucrazedto'
'ucrazedto' anagrammed gives 'COTE DAZUR'.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
