Multiple Choice

Name the other large outside the Côtes du Rhône.

Explanation:
Rhône wine geography: the Côtes du Rhône AOC covers a broad swath in the southern Rhône, but there are other sizable appellations outside that umbrella. Costières de Nîmes sits just south of the Rhône valley, near Nîmes, and is one of the largest regions considered outside the Côtes du Rhône AOC. It produces red, white, and rosé in a style similar to southern Rhône wines, making it the standout choice for “the other large outside the Côtes du Rhône.” The other names are notable Rhône appellations but are either within the broader Rhône area as distinct AOCs (and not as large as Costières de Nîmes) or are smaller in scale.
