Popular wine from Bordeaux (6)

I believe the answer is:

merlot

(Other definitions for merlot that I've seen before include "Black grape variety" , "Black wine grape" , "Strange wine made from elm rot" , "Wine-producing black grape" , "Grape makes elm rot" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
