Name one of the two largest appellations outside the Côtes du Rhône in the Southern Rhône.

Explanation:
Ventoux is the northern giant of the Southern Rhône outside the Côtes du Rhône, covering a large area across parts of Vaucluse (and into Drôme). Its substantial vineyard footprint makes it one of the two biggest appellations in that zone, the other being Bandol. While Gigondas and Beaumes-de-Venise are respected and influential, they cover smaller areas, so they aren’t among the largest outside the Côtes du Rhône.
