I don't have a favorite Champagne, but I do have a few favorite Sparkling Wines.
J Schram
Schramsberg Brut Rose
I also had a Magnum of a Roederer Estates that was excellent. The 750ml was mediocre, but the Magnum was phenomenal.

Depending on your price... I am a big fan of Veuve Clicquot Grande Dame (1995 is especially nice), but it is a heavier, yeastier style, with layers and layers of doughy goodness. A notch down in price is Non-Vinrage Billecart Salmon - very well balanced, year in and year out. If you want something inexpensive, try Spanish Cava's - though not technically Champagne, since they don't come from Champagne, France, they are made in the Methode Champenoise in a light, flavorful style to please a crowd.

My favourite is not a Champagne because it's from Canada but it's Peller Estates Dry Cristalle. Instead of topping it up with extra champagne or sparkling wine like most are done with, Peller Estates adds a bit of last vintages ice wine. It doesn't make it sweet but it does make it very interesting.

I'd have to go with cheap Pink Champagne! I could drink like 2 1/2 bottles and be happy and giggly all night long!

I love the demi-sec Veuve Clicquot. Most people who say they don't like champagne just don't like the very dry champagne. The demi-sec is not too sweet - I love it by itself or with dessert!

Louis Roederer NV Brut Premier. Absolutely divine! Perfect balance of flavors. Not too dry and not too sweet. And its pretty affordable at about $50/bottle.

My favorite has to be Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin. It hasn't got that tartness that I find objectionable, and the texture...if one can call it that...is velvety and fine.
P.S. Nickname is quite right about Moet & Chandon.
