King of the Pippins or Reine des Reinettes[1][2][3] (French), Goldparmäne, Wintergoldparmäne (German) is an old cultivar of domesticated apple originating from France, and is still used in its original form as well as in many derivative cultivars that have been bred from it.[4] It was also formerly known as Golden Winter Pearmain,[5][1] because of its ripening period at late fall.[2]
