Quitting appellations

This question is for the true wine geeks out there:

Which French wine producers have “quit” the AOC system and make at least one table wine (vin de table)? I can only think of Aime Guibert at Domaine de Daumas Gassac in Languedoc but there are undoubtedly others (I think Michel Rolland has declassified some of his wines and have vague notions about Northern Rhone producers too). Are there any other appellation geeks out there who can help me come up with anything more specific?

All right, now back to our regular programming of “wine talk that goes down easy.”
