Almost certainly not. French chablis must contain chardonnay grapes from the chablis region. US chardonnay must contain 80% chardonnay grapes from anywhere. Any other civilized country's chardonnay usually does contain at least some chardonnay. Any 'chablis' from anywhere else can, and usually does, contain any kind of grape or any fruit juice from anywhere on the planet. Some winemakers now use the word 'chablis' to mean 'white wine'. Good idea => do your own homework online before spending very much money.

What is the difference between Chablis wine and Chardonnay wine if both use Chardonnay grapes?

If the bottle is from France, a Chablis is made of 100% chardonnay grapes grown from the Chablis region. If the bottle is from the USA, a Chardonnay must have at least 80% chardonnay grapes grown from anywhere. If the bottle says Chablis and is from the US, all bets are off. It could have nearly anything inside. Many US bottlers in the 1970's started using the term "Chablis" to mean "white wine."
