Les Rouères is an eastern and southeastern-facing lieu-dit of Quarts de Chaume, where the soils are dominated by puddingstone rather than schist. This soil type, a naturally loose conglomerate with various sized pebbles, is notable for radiating daytime heat well into the evening, so while this site might not have the warmest exposure in Quarts de Chaume, the terroir makes up for it. Domain Belargus owns 2.96-hectares of vines in this lieu-dit and makes two cuvées from this site, a dry wine bearing the Anjou appellation and a late harvest wine labeled Quarts de Chaume.
