She provides hot claret (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

charlotte

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

'she' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'hot claret' is the wordplay.
'hot claret' anagrams to 'CHARLOTTE'.
Though, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

'provides' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for charlotte that I've seen before include "Yorkshire novelist" , "Fruit dish" , "sort of sweet" , "Victorian novelist" , "Pudding; girl" .)
