Thanks, but I did find a good picture for Medaille d'or already.

Reinette de Champagne is an old French variety, which nowadays is 
mostly grown in Switzerland, Austria and Germany under the name 
"Champagner". I don't have direct experience with it, but it is well 
liked in these countries for cider. It is also good for fresh eating 
and cooking. It would be considered as a sharp, with high sugar 
content, medium to high acidity, and low tannins.

Have you seen this site? http://www.orangepippin.com/apples
